Can I ask the failthful believers how they square the following circle?
Today, whether it passes or not, we are going to watch a group of labour MP’s walk through the lobby with the Tories to vote in favour of the most far-right piece of legislation this country has ever seen.
A bill that will enable a Tory government to tear up workers rights, environmental controls and whaever else they fancy, free of the ‘shackles of the EU’.
Those labour MP’s will all have one thing in common. Corbynites, the lot of them.
Fellow knee-jerk Anti-EU,, 70’s throwbacks. Bennite fellow travellors of the beardy messiah who could normally depend on Jeremy trooping through the lobby with them to vote down whatever EU legislation put before them. Voting alongside Mark Francois, Rees-Mogg, John Redwood, Iain Dnuncan Smith and Bill Cash. And but for a clerical error that ended up with him as leader, he’d with them today.
He’s tipped them the wink anyway, that there won’t be any real consequences. They won’t lose the whip.. So its effectively a free vote. In stark contrast to triggering article 50, or voting to stay outside the custome union and the single market
Have a think about that. They’re handing the Tories a blank sheet of paper to tear up the achievements of the labour party and turn this country into a sweatshop tax haven. And they’re doing so with a tacit nod from the leader of the labour party
How do you explain that one away then? Where does this fit in with your much trumpeted socialist values?
