& yet it barely get's a mention. Such lovely unbiased coverage

"A senior Labour MP has thrown the party’s Brexit policy into further confusion by claiming the party backs staying in a “reformed” EU single market.

Barry Gardiner hinted that Labour could switch to supporting a softer Brexit – one day after John McDonnell, the shadow Chancellor, ruled out a rethink on single market membership.

To add to the confusion, Jeremy Corbyn said only “there will have to be an arrangement made” when asked the same question yesterday."

Don't be fooled by anybody trying to claim Labour ran a good campaign. It was littered with stuff like this, their campaign was a shambles. Probably why they won so few seats.

If this mess means we can avoid a calamitous hard brexit, it might well be a very useful and timely mess.

But Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell told ITV's Peston on Sunday that full single market membership was not "on the table" and would be seen by voters as not respecting the referendum result.

Does anyone know how many Conservative Remainers there are ? I think about 80.

Why would they support the Queen's Speech?

Could the Tory Remainers be holding up the Queen's speech and not the talks with the DUP?

May's Ministers Plot Softer Brexit to Keep U.K. in Single Market
