surprise marxist professor that joined the Brexit party
Really? I thought the far left were quite known for being anti EU.
For example, the Morning Star

Yes I know that, I know people in that corner of the political spectrum, but that far left is also pro immigration and refugee.
So what is she doing in a party with the gammons? The people I know would not join a party like the brexit party as it has no real positive policies on other issues.
Attention, political convenience, cynical one issue politics...I suppose.

So? The left critique and the right critique of the EU differ, and have different goals. Just because both agree on a simple basic idea - we should leave the EU - doesn’t make them natural allies.
For instance, me - longtime left eurosceptic, voted remain. Not because I believe in the EU, but because it was obvious that brexit was a project owned by the extreme right and I don’t want to live in a country where they are setting the agenda, and I don’t want to leave the EU in a manner where they are in the driving seat.

A bit more on the surprise marxist professor that joined the Brexit party...one with a past linked to people that were against the NI peace process (the GFA)
Anne Widdecombe missed all that? Or perhaps their dislike of the EU is great enough to unite them, until they have to do some actual positive "be for something" work.
