Well, here's part of what he said in Coventry
''There will be some who will tell you that Brexit is a disaster for this country and some who will tell you that Brexit will create a land of milk and honey.
The truth is more down to earth and it’s in our hands.
Brexit is what we make of it together, the priorities and choices we make in the negotiations.
This Conservative government is damaging our country and their priorities for Brexit risk increasing the damage.''
Seems like 'Brexit' happening is still the working assumption. Does supporting some kind of Customs Union mean Brexit is absolutely impossible? Turkey is in a customs union with the EU and will probably never be a member.
It does seem strange that this change has taken so long to happen. After all an agreement was made with the Tories after the referendum. I presume the general feeling is that the original brexiteers are now so uncertain that they will not react to this change? Is something else going on inside Labour, despite his words Corbyn does not look completely happy with what he is saying on this. The Customs Union does not stop Brexit though. What it does is make the economic advantages of leaving almost non-existant. The freedom to create trade agreements like those already tentatively agreed with Australia, China, India and partly with the USA will not be possible if a Customs Union form is used. It completely ties us to the EU in economic terms and yet we still have to pay for the priviledge of leaving?
So much of central government has been on the basis of informal consent and now here, and to some extent with the Democrats and Republicans in the States, this seems to be challenged or removed.
Very messy. May help Labour to bring them down but not sure than it is legally or economically worth it at this stage.
This Marxist has been against the EU all his political life. But now sees a way of trying to bring the Tories down. Sheer brass faced political posturing with no regard to the majority that voted out.
Only the uneducated and Momentum members cannot see what a total hypocritical lying chancer this man is.
Thick voting students..be aware...
The failing Guardian readers will be happy.
hypocritical lying chancer...Sounds like you're describing good old Ben Bradley there!
If nothing more his apology that he has been forced to make has got the Tories all over Social Media.
The apology has had more retweets and likes than the whole of the Tory Party for a whole year! At least Ben found a way to create a wave!
