I went to my local Constituency Meeting last night. Emily Thornberry, our MP, made it clear that while Labour accepted that the referendum vote went the way it did and the Article 50 had been triggered and so we were leaving the EU, the necessity was to negotiate a deal that protected the economy and that therefore gave us everything that we had as members. In other words the softest of soft Brexits. Brixit only in name.
Unsurprisingly, this is exactly the same approach that the Liberals are adopting.

Not Pro Brexit. Whatever Corbyn's personal views, the Labour Party has always campaigned against Brexit. They accept the inevitability of Brexit following the referendum but are committed to ensuring that the Brexit that is negotiated does not leave us worse off than at present. This means that, when push comes to shove, they will oppose whatever deal May negotiates as any deal will be worse than the status quo.
