  • From the grauniad

    Although Smith is mostly differentiating himself from Corbyn on delivery, not policy, on Europe he said enough to suggest this could become a key policy dividing line. Smith has already said that the people should get a chance to vote on the final Brexit deal, either at a general election or in a referendum. Today he implied, without being fully explicit, that Labour under his leadership would campaign to stay in. He said Labour should be fighting to stay in Europe. (See 11.41pm - I will post the quote soon.) Corbyn, on the other hand, has shown no interest in trying to reverse the EU referendum vote, and Smith’s words suggest the leadership contest could become one with implications not just for Labour, but for Britain’s relationship with
    the EU too.

  • Clever position to campaign on, but at the same time, how's that going to win over the voters who've left Labour for Ukip? I suspect that would make him a number of enemies in the PLP.

    I don't have the energy for ironic lols anymore.
