The ‘hopelessly divided’ Tories must be shown the door, Labour charges
People’s jobs are being put at risk by the Conservative’s internal divisions, says Labour's Shadow Justice Secretary Richard Burgon

THE “hopelessly divided” Conservative government cannot deliver Brexit and must be shown the door, Labour charged after Tory MPs held a confidence vote in Theresa May.

The vote shows that the government is “completely immobilised” at such a critical time for the country, Labour Party chairman Ian Lavery said.

And Labour MP Richard Burgon warned that changing the party's leader wouldn't make any difference anyway, noting: “Theresa May is a failing Prime Minister. However, the root cause of her failure is the fact she leads a hopelessly and bitterly divided party.”
