Jeremy Corbyn’s Brexit plan could force Britain to stay in the EU past 2019 after he dodges questions over the deadline
The leftie leader said no deal with Brussels was the worst possible outcome
JEREMY Corbyn's Brexit plan could force Britain to stay in the EU beyond 2019, Tories warned last night after the Labour leader said he’d never walk away without a deal.
The leftie said no deal with Brussels was the worst possible outcome as he unveiled his three-strong Brexit negotiating team including White Van hater Emily Thornberry.
He claimed Theresa May’s pledge to deliver Brexit even if it means leaving without a new free trade agreement would cause a “jobs meltdown”.
Mr Corbyn said: “Theresa May says no deal is better than a bad deal. Let’s be clear: ‘No deal’ is in fact a bad deal.
“It is the worst of all deals, because it would leave us with World Trade Organisation tariffs and restrictions instead of the access to European markets we need.”
The veteran leader repeatedly dodged The Sun’s questions over what he would do if a deal was not agreed by the deadline of March 2019.
Tories warned that his position raised the prospect of Britain remaining a member of the EU and continuing to pay contributions until Brussels offered us a good deal.
Tory candidate and leading Brexit campaigner Jacob Rees-Mogg told The Sun: “To keep the UK in the EU after 2019 would place the views of the few remaining Europhiles above the votes of the many who voted to leave.
“It would turn Labour's election slogan on its head and particularly lets down the Labour Leave voters.”
