Boris Writes To Jezza

[lankeela]

Asking what his plans are for Brexit and saying the public have a right to know. Do you think Jezza will reply?

[drmorgans]

I think Corbyn's attitude to the EU is ambivalent, hence he appears evasive. From Labour's point of view, the EU has brought better workers rights, consumer rights but is essentially aimed at restricting free trade into a Europe-wide market and increasing fiscal and political union.

[ludwig]

His reply should take the form of three letters. One that he doesn't sign, one that says what his plans are, and another one saying that he didn't really mean what he said in the second letter.

ich,so you think that it makes sense to negotiate a deal to leave the EU and then campaign against that deal?

[ichkeria]

Labour hasn’t said it would do that.
I agree that it’s unsatisfactory; I’ve already said that above.
But the point is, we know all this already so this feels like a publicity stunt by Johnson when he ought to be telling people, honestly, the consequences of his own deal. He pulled it from Parliament after Parliament had actually agreed it in principle but refused to rush it through in 3 days.

[youngmafbog]

We know what Johnsons deal is and what he wants. Not sure it could be much clearer.

It's not ideal for leavers by a long chalk but if looked at in the sense of a step in the right direction then it will have to do.

[Old_Geezer]

So you think someone might be forcing Corbyn to reply against his will, ludwig ?

Keir Starmer has said he, personally, would vote to Remain.
I’m sure some would vote for the deal. And some might not.
But as I said before, it’s not unlike the Tory party pre-the Cameron renegotiation.

All this talk about negotiating a new agreement will mean nothing if the EU say that we have already negotiated two agreements and we are not negotiating any more. What will the Labour party do then?

[davebro]

They will probably agree because the deal Labour wants looks much less like real Brexit than anything already negotiated.

[dannyk13]

Exarmy//What will the Labour party do then?//
Probably revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU.Assuming of course that they in Government, which I doubt.

[ToraToraTora]

we already know, he's going to negotiate another non deal then have another referendum on it.

[Ellipsis]

> Keir Starmer has said he, personally, would vote to Remain

And he also said ...

* He would be the (lead) one negotiating the deal
* Only the deal and Remain would be on the ballot paper

If I was a Brexiteer and a cynic, I might suspect that he would agree a deal that I would find less appealing than Remain - thereby engineering a Remain victory.

/// The Labour position is deliberately evasive and untruthful.///

Unlike Bozza - ho ho ho

P.S. Bozza didn't write it anyway, Cummings did. (Bozza's dead in a ditch, remember?)
