Diane Abbott, the shadow home secretary, says that, like John McDonnell, should would also personally campaign for remain in any second referendum.
Cake and eating comes to mind
So that would be like sitting on the fence (again)?
He looks like a scrap dealer in a suit, ceeepy man
They really are dumb
UKLabour johnmcdonnellMP “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. “ “Silence in the face of injustice is complicity with the oppressor.” Labour’s indecisiveness is why you’re losing the young vote to the Lib Dems and Greens.
There, just as I thought (and tweeted) that Labour had a good idea, they go and screw it up. Labour, sit on the fence all you get is an arse full of splinters.
Cowardly move.
The state of UKLabour, jeremycorbyn, johnmcdonnellMP, and worst of the lot LenMcCluskey, the man who commands the support of a paltry 4% of his unitetheunion's 1.5m members. Neutral? NEUTRAL? How can you be neutral about Brexit?
The party of the shrug
Doing everything he can to ensure labour never get into No 10 anytime soon. Taking fence sitting to a whole new level.
You just can’t believe anything they say.
Pathetic pandering to the hard left cadre.
So the policy is , get a GE go to a referendum and negotiate a new deal then campaign against the deal , but be neutral at the same time. Absolutely clear 😫
2ndReferendum Labour’s voter base may logically lead to a neutral position in any referendum - with Labour MPs campaigning on both sides. But it’s not easy to ride two angry unicorns.
That fence must be getting very painful and he’s been on it so long it needs painting
Just like the Tories they are so shit scared of splitting the party they prefer to sit on their hands. Idiots
FFS!
They have to have a view, it's their job
The trouble is 2 words “len McClusky” he has too much input on Labour Party policy the country is clearly strongly “remain” but he’s so out of touch it’s incredible it’s the young vote we should be getting out not chasing a few dinosaurs with their warped views on brexit
When a party is neutral on a historical choice, like Brexit, it is not fit to be a party of government.
Fucking hopeless
You couldn’t make it up, armchairs installed on the top of that fence... what an utter shambles.
So what exactly is the point of an interim govt or GE? In fact what exactly is the point of Labour?
I could swear that their last position on Brexit was to Remain. This is just a cynical and cowardly ploy to not lose Leave voters by not actually stating that they are for Remain. Labour are a fucking disgrace.
The fence sitting approach has served the party so well in past year. I understand the nuance, however it’s neither a principled position or an effective strategy.
Brexit is a Tory project. In government or not the British ruling class is Tory. The Johnson Tory government have extreme & damaging intentions for reshaping Britain after Brexit. Any party intending to fight for those who are not the ruling class cannot be neutral or pro-Brexit
Wow another Brexit stance does anyone know what there position is on Brexit.
Maybe voters will be 'officially neutral' at the next election instead of voting Labour.
Forget my Labour then. I don’t see any way that the core support will be better off post brexit.
Electoral wipe ou looming.
FFS. Sitting on the fence is not an effective Brexit policy. No wonder there has been such a surge in Liberal Democrat support.
Omg, pick a fucking side
Some days I wonder whether UKLabour are actually trying to bore me to death.
Have to ask ourselves what the point of Labour is. Their job is to be the bloody official opposition not sit on the damn fence being neutral. It's as if Corbyn is in smoking of pact with the Tories not to block or hinder Brexit in any way, is he?
FFS get off the bloody fence, just when I was starting to hope that labour were going to take a position that supports not fucking up the country
So moving off the small fence onto a very large fence.
“Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, but at least it’s an ethos.”
Yes because it is the people's decision. Why upset half your voters by taking a side!
Getting back on that fence, eh John
Labour haven’t a clue. They are floundering around looking for a policy with one aim - getting into govt. They are completely untrustworthy on Brexit, and many other issues. Only LibDems have a consistent policy to stop Brexit. Remember - a vote for Labour is a vote for Brexit
Brexit: Labour plan on losing the next General Election, John McDonnell suggests.
Ok but what is the policy going to be tomorrow......?
Real leadership right there.
There was already a referendum
Conning the people yet again
What a liar
Officially gutless.
There should be complete political neutrality, remove your rosettes and let the educated electorate decide.
Sure they will, I mean...why break the habit of a lifetime now?
That's as bad as not voting and then complaining about the result 😒
Officially neutral lol sounds like a tadpole or something.
Bad headline, read the article “allowing Labour members to take either side in a second referendum, with the party machine staying neutral.”
Watch out for those pesky bins John
Yeah, this guy. This strategy. This statement.
The apathy of the left is annoying. But it is logical, the fucking Nazis are waiting a response...
Tbh the country’s neutral overall - the flaw was most plebiscites need a 2/3rds majority to change the status-quo - schoolboy/girl error 🤪
This dilli dallying approach will sink the Labour.
😂🤣😂🤡
Still trying to bat for both sides and take the electorate for fools. Boris's secret weapon 😁
Back to the winning strategy that helped Labour’s amazing run for the past 3 years.
Things get stranger and stranger by the day in this country. Just how does UKLabour project itself as 'agnostic' on this issue after all that has gone on?
Clearly johnmcdonnellMP doesn’t understand that politicians must lead and make a stand. Fence sitting on the most divisive issue in generations is not going to go down well. But we know this labour leadership are all Leavers anyway
Great Britain needs a real party not all these clowns.
Realise they have made a big error ignoring their leave voters!! Don’t believe a word lying gits. If they got into power on that ticket they would straight away switch back to support remain as they did in last election.
Labour has been sitting on that referendum fence for so long, they've probably got squatters rights.
Thick as mince
Rubbish just heard him on BBCr4today saying Labour will campaign to remain so there!
How many different positions are they going to take 🤣 they will literally try anything to get into power. Although I’m constantly told they are different to other parties...
Brexit: Labour Brexit car to start production shortly, John McDonnell confirms.
Neutral? You mean whatever happens it isn't our fault! It IS your fault already.....
Announce remain
FFS......they can't even agree amongst themselves.....
🤣
and that honesty is fine....What it allows is the leave labour MPs to vote with Boris to get brexit done and then fight the issues they want to differentiate later. As a Tory/Brexit party I think that is great
3 years, clueless where Labour stands on Brexit, flip flop, just eye no 10. Hopeless leadership.
How is being neutral representative of anyone in Britain regarding Brexit? People who are neutral don't vote
Now for the first time I believe Labour are being honest about their position
Good god.
Get ride of Jeremy Corbyn and stop a no deal Brexit.
