It’s not the job of the Leader of the Oppositon to facilitate bad Government policy. They command a majority alongside their confidence and supply partner.

You can blame Labour all you want but the fact remains if May had the full support of her party she would have won the last “meaningful vote”.

Incorrect.

Having the exact relationship Norway has with Brussels completely satisfies the result of the referendum question asked on 23rd June 2016. We would no longer be a member of the European Union.

Actually 100% agree on this point. For Brexit to be achieved it needs a government who can’t be held to the whims of the ERG/DUP.
