Labour Leader Corbyn: Political declaration 'worst of all worlds' - BBC News

Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn described the agreement as "26 pages of waffle" which "could have been written two years ago".

"This is the blindfold Brexit we all feared - a leap in the dark. It falls short of Labour's six tests," he added.

"What on earth have the government been doing for the past two years?."

Earlier Mrs May said: "The British people want this to be settled.

They want a good deal that sets us on course for a brighter future. That deal is within our grasp and I am determined to deliver it."

I don't support Corbyn but he is largely correct in his assessment.

Man, Corbyn is definitely the best british politicians and even one of the best politicians in the world these days

[leapsplashafrog]

on 9 May 2018 govt said after our vote out that
“The UK is leaving the EU’s Single Market and Customs Union. We are seeking to establish a deep and special partnership with the EU and a new customs arrangement outside the EU’s Customs Union” ??

This is neither ?

Me:*hands in essay to teacher*
Them: **gives it back because it’s** *26 pages of waffle*

[haimoron]

Jeremy Corbyn is an amazing person, he will be the next prime minister of Britain, and finally rid of the failing theresa May

So we’ve not got the rights to our own fishing waters but we’ve now got the ability to negotiate our rights to our own fishing waters? And if the French say no? We declare war or what?

The Tories couldn't run a bath, like Neville Chamberlain before her, with her very own policy of "appeasement" May Out.

[kevinwellwrought]

Corbyn, for God’s sake stop May from ruining this country.

[angelinthedocks]

Oddly enough the remainers seemed to be just as vexed as the leavers. They seem to show a genuine hostility to it. By trying to please both sides she's put the back up of both.

[ElizabethKitchener]

I support Jeremy Corbyn the whole way.

[rafaelgamma]

Corbyn will be a great prime minister.

[carlcarlington]

If I knew the PM was handing out 26 pages of waffles I would've been pro ukip a long time ago. Breakfast first.

[austenj]

WTO agreement makes sense - money kept in the bank, no need to listen to France over fishing, Spain over Gibraltar, ECJ jurisdiction immediately ends, instant move to negotiate trade deals with the EU and beyond, no hard border in Ireland, etc etc. A 'no brainer' from the start.

[alexgamer]

Man I love watching Corbyn talk he's like a automatic roasting machine throwing insults left and right

[eliase.b.]

I
I'm from Spain and I don't have too much idea about Brexit. If only someone could explain to me what is wrong with this deal... Thank you very much in advance.

[hellothere]

I don't understand why politicians need to insult each other.

[barbaracraddock]

I will never vote for labour but agree with Corbin.

[iknewit.]

Can't say I disagree with him, and I think he has hit the nail on the head that document probably was written 2 years ago, the day after the referendum.

[canman]

This agreement means the EU has the right to annex Britain.

Why are they all trying to talk over one another? Is this normal in UK parliament
