Looney Labour Brexit Position Untennable
Interviewer Andrew Neil has once again slammed Labour MPs during an interview. This is becoming somewhat of a routine.http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/829...ty-Brexit-plan
'Your positions are UNTENABLE' Andrew Neil SAVAGES senior Labour MP over Brexit plans
"The veteran BBC host told Rebecca Long-Bailey, the shadow business secretary, Jeremy Corbyn’s long list of European Union divorce demands are completely “untenable”.
Ms Long-Bailey threw her party’s Brexit position into yet more chaos when she mimicked Boris Johnson and claimed Labour “wants to have our cake and eat it”.
"Ms Long-Bailey replied: “We want to maintain the benefits of the customs union while also being able to negotiate trade deals as we see fit.
“That will form part of the negotiations themselves, but we can’t cut our nose off to spite our face and come out of the customs union without any transitional arrangements whatsoever and send businesses over the edge of a cliff.”
This sent Neil into a frenzy, which led to him accusing the shadow business secretary of proposing a list of “untenable” demands.
He said: “But it seems like you do want to have your cake and eat it! You want to stay members of the single market but not have the obligations that go with it, you want to stay in the customs union but still be able to do free trade deals on your own, which is flies in the very face of the principle of the customs union."
