The big party conferences, first Labour in Liverpool then Birmingham for the Conservatives taking place to the tick-tock sound of Brexit: with six months to go, terms of divorce with the continent must be sealed before the end of the year if they''re to be ratified in time. And yet, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was over 45 minutes into his speech before he uttered the B-word. What does that say about the opposition leader''s true position on Brexit?

Starmer has set the Labour agenda by outmaneuvering Corbyn and McDonnell with his second referendum speech even though Corbyn, McDonnell and the Labour manifesto said they would respect the referendum.
Who is really Labour leader ?.

March 29th closing in Political Union still haven't presented the UK with a trade deal. Lots of invested interest within the EU and NGO stirring the pot which divided us in the UK and Europe with their fear strategy imposed onto our people, exactly what they wanted Donald Tusk head of the political Union says Britain must not succeed. This is the true color of the Political Union against Europe

Bla bla bla, in the unlikely event that May is able to bring a deal from Brussels it will be voted down by parliament. Then the UK is facing no deal Brexit, no UK government is gonna allow that madness to happen, therefore the only alternative will be a people’s vote. End result: No Brexit.
9 months from now i will come back to these comments, we will find out who got it right or wrong.

People vs parliament. People want Brexit, parliament does not.
People will win. Britain will leave with no deal.

No party can deliver a deal with Europe because a deal with Europe is not wanted in country.

The process will time out. And then we will be free.

Britain voters and tax payers can decide what they require . From our politicians not French or other countries . You can decide what best for your country . And the British people can decide what best for Britain . Goodbye

"What does that say about the leader [...]"
Don't you know Corbyn has been advocating for Brexit for 40 years, contrarily to May ? That is a problem when most people in his party are remainers....

the bias in this is terrible - fair play to the host you tried to give equal balance but the panel not so, shame on the producers.. Alex is just obnoxious; everything is a unicorn to him if you doesn't want to understand it. For him heterosexuals would be for the unicorns!
