LABOUR’S SINGLE MARKET MUDDLE

Former LIB deM peer Lord oakeshott, who donated £300,000 to Labour candidates at the 2015 election, is at it again. He’s given £10,000 to Labour MP Heidi Alexander, who like oakeshott, is a Remainer. Alexander has set up Labour Campaign for the single Market to keep Britain in the eu’s internal market. Has anyone told Comrade Corbyn? Last week, he committed a future Labour government to do exactly the opposite.

MEANWHILE, shadow Brexit minister Jenny Chapman (pictured) angrily denied on ITV last week that Labour’s stance on the eu was confused. ‘I get a bit irritated when you say it’s not clear, because, actually, it is very clear,’ she said. ‘What we’re saying is that we want the benefits of the single market but that we are not, erm, we’re uneasy about accepting all of the ... the ... the ... erm ...’ As clear as mud.
