Inflammatory comments like those by Michael Howard will not help Britain get what it needs from Brexit negotiations - Thornberry
Emily Thornberry MP, Labour’s Shadow Foreign Secretary, remarking on former Tory Leader Michael Howard’s comments, said:
“Inflammatory comments like those by Michael Howard will not help Britain get what it needs from these difficult Brexit negotiations. Sadly it’s typical of the botched Tory approach which threatens a bad deal for Britain.
“Labour is clear that the sovereignty of Gibraltar must be protected and that the interests of British citizens in Gibraltar are safeguarded.”

Honestly, mainly reblogging to see how many notes this even has (out of curiosity, to see how many notes a random post on @labourpress actually gets). I should probably actually reblog to an inactive sideblog/former url hoarded for minimising awkwardness from link breakage instead of here, but hey.
Also, wow this is a really anemic statement.
Ah, two reblogs now (including this one), both of which are me. I just assumed that the theme on @labourpress wasn’t showing notes for some reason. Huh.
