Jeremy Corbyn – Labour supporters voted ‘both Leave and Remain’

With the European elections taking place next Thursday, several senior political figures took to the TV studios to reiterate their case, including a handful of party leaders. One of these was Jeremy Corbyn, whose Brexit position has been criticised for its lack of clarity. Speaking to Andrew Marr, Corbyn defended his strategy of not picking a side:

JC: Labour supporters voted both Leave and Remain, and every other party in this European election is appealing to either one side or the other, defining everybody on 2016. We’re not. We’re defining people as hopefully supporters of us – but also, people who have common problems, however they voted.

Labour can’t give the government ‘a blank cheque’

The government’s Brexit talks with Labour broke down on Friday, prompting speculation about Theresa May’s next possible steps. Marr suggested that the government could independently bring forward a bill to enshrine EU standards of workers’ rights in law, and asked if this would help pass the withdrawal agreement:

“We'd look at it very carefully… I can’t give it a blank cheque”
