LONDON - The message from the early results of local elections in England is that Britain’s exit from the European Union needs to be resolved, the finance spokesman of the opposition Labour Party said on Friday. Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservatives and the Labour Party were both punished by voters in the elections who blame them for the deadlock over Brexit, partial results showed.
“We’ll see what final results of local elections look like by end of day as they are pretty mixed geographically up to now but so far message from local elections - ‘Brexit - sort it’, Message received,” Labour’s John McDonnell said on Twitter.
Yvette Cooper brought this on the Labour Party.
Stop brexshit now, RemainBacklash The country has changed its mind to Remain.
Oh, which EU leaders has endorsed this? Really stupid.
I think the messages are: Stop trying to sell us a Labour Brexit we don’t want or believe in. Don’t make a deal with the Tories. Get behind a second vote Don’t take the Remain vote for granted. I worry McDonnell is spinning the result as a mandate to cut a Brexit deal with May.
The fact that Remain parties have won heavily does not suggest that the British people want Labour and/or Tories to 'sort brexit'. Rather they want it stopped. If any deal hatched in smoke filled rooms does not result in a 2nd ref, both parties will suffer badly at the next GE
I think you'll find that the surge of the LibDems means voters want a second referendum and the more you insist on pursuing YOUR OWN agenda, the more both of you will be purged....
