    Corbyn challenges May to agree to Labour's EU demands or he will force a GE.
    Well, anyone who said Corbyn was thick needs to think again.

    What he asks for are:
    • UK access to 500 million customers in Europe’s single market.
    • No watering down of EU workplace rights.
    • Guarantees on safeguarding consumers and the environment.
    • Pledges on Britain picking up the tab for any EU capital investment lost by Brexit


    These are all what May and indeed most Leavers want. Note, nothing about free movement of people.

    So May says, "Yes Jeremy. You can have those". Jeremy then claims he forced the PM into giving him what he wants. A50 triggered and no freedom of movement in the plan.

    The reality is, Jezza is a Leaver.
    That was pretty obvious anyway, seeing he opposed it in the beginning, and made no effort in the referendum to oppose Brexit either in anything but a half-hearted way.

      That's tulip of the highest order and if you had any modicum of morality or honesty you would admit it.

      Most leavers voted based on the promise of £350 million a week for the NHS, no more immigration and no more unelected people telling us what to do.
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        No he's not. Jezza wants us in the Single market so we will have free movement of people.

        He's a prize a**hole like that ex-Whitney MP who is our ex-PM.

        I don't know who is the most useless out of the pair of them.

          Not really. As you'd be aware if you weren't so thick, I've been called far worse than "dunce".

            The £350m thing we've done to death.

            I'm sure many voted on immigration but Corbyn hasn't stated that as a bottom line. If he had said he wants access to the single market AND freedom of movement then that would have been a real challenge to May but he knows full well that many Labour voters voted Leave because of immigration. He doesn't want them going to UKIP as a result of Labour stating they support uncontrolled immigration.

            We want access to the single market.
            I haven't heard anyone call for workers rights to be removed.
            Consumers and the environment......he can have that if it makes him happy
            The Government has already stated it will fund existing EU schemes through until 2020.

            So he has just stated what we all wanted. He hasn't put any consition on how we get it which will be the difficult bit.

              We all want the single market. That doesn't necessarily mean free movement of people.

              Do you want to look at Farage's fizzog for the next 20 years?

                Part of access to the single market is free movement of people.

                It's up to the UK Government to put laws in place that allow this with restrictions on who can come over. Other EEA countries do this already.

                      I never doubted it for a moment. Why would I fly so radically in the face of perceived forum opinion?
