She now claims that the party still has no policy on brexit as Thornberry states they “are still considering it”, because “it is unclear what the British public wants”. 17 million voters state we want to quit the EU and Emily hasnt a clue what that means - noone is that naieve. Meanwhile, Labour MP Toby Perkins raised concerns about the lack of discussion within the party about its official position saying, “I would be alarmed if the party has come to a position of wanting access — not membership — [of the single market] without any consultation in the party.”
Elsewhere the ink was barely dry on Corbyns victory when the parties conference led by pro Owen Smith Blairites passed a motion to make it official party policy to seek a 2nd referendum on our membership of the EU. This was in contravention of Corbyns own view on the matter which was to accept the verdict of the British people.
Anyone who thinks the re-election of Jeremy Corbyn by his parties activists albeit with an increased majority has settled the parties troubles is in for a very rude awakening.
