Clutching at straws with this sentence
Clutching at straws now means "to take at face value"?
I completely retract my accusation of Sophistry Oliver, you can speak only the unvarnished truth.
Dammit-
That sentence read in full:
Clutching at straws with this sentence doesn't change the fact that there are plenty of things in there that explicitly rule out a hard 'Brexit': rejection of a 'no deal' scenario, etc.
As Mrak says, very politely, it seems 'unusual' for Labour to become a party of a hard 'Brexit'.
Oliver Schick
Ha.
Of course. That doesn't dictate a 'hard "Brexit"', though. As I've previously asked about and subsequently concluded, I don't think Labour really have a plan the EU would find acceptable, either. It still doesn't dictate a 'hard "Brexit"', it just means that a putative Labour government approached the EU with this idea, they would probably run up against a brick wall just like Theresa May has done. Theresa May hasn't triggered a hard 'Brexit' yet, so why would Labour?
