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.
