Labour MPS in single market warning

Eurosceptic Labour MPS have warned their party’s decision to back continued single market membership during a post- Brexit transition could cost it votes. John Mann said free move- ment within the EU had to end with Brexit, insisting Labour needed a “clearly defined immigration policy to remain credible”.

And Frank Field warned his party’s leadership not to be “beguiled by wolves in sheeps’ clothing”.

“The majority of Labour MPS are Remainers, and most of their constituencies voted to Leave ,” he said .“They’ve already risen from their political death- beds once, and they need to remain off their political death- beds by respecting the vote of their constituencies, rather than going for any tricks.”
