Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott and Richard Burgeon speak at St Mary's in the Castle during a visit to Hastings in East Sussex today
JEREMY CORBYN condemned Theresa May’s offer of cross-party Brexit talks as a “stunt” today and refused to engage with her until she rules out the option of leaving the European Union without a deal.
The Labour leader said that the Prime Minister’s invitation to enter talks just days after MPs rejected her Brexit deal by a margin of 230 votes — the biggest Commons defeat for any government in British political history — was a “phoney” move.
Ms May has made no “serious attempt to engage with the new reality that is needed” to get a withdrawal agreement through Parliament after her humiliating defeat on Tuesday, he added.
Starmer sabotaged Labour with his second referendum campaign, mobilising a liberal backlash that sincerely felt progressive ideals were at stake — but the EU was then and is now an entity Britain should have nothing to do with, explains NICK WRIGHT
