The Labour manifesto promised to honour the referendum result, leave the EU, end freedom of movement and leave the single market.

I am aware that not everyone who voted Labour wants to leave the EU, but many do. In addition many who voted remain want to see the referendum result honoured even though they would not have chosen to leave initially.

Many people, including politicians, are now trying to present votes for Labour as votes against Brexit, against leaving the single market and in favour of freedom of movement. This is the opposite of what is in the Labour manifesto, and is a lie.

If you voted Labour believing that Labour would honour the referendum result and their manifesto promises to leave the EU, leave the single market and end freedom of movement, please be aware that some people are trying to "reinterpret" your vote as a vote against Brexit.

It looks like Brexit will be negotiated by a cross party group, and the views of Labour MPs and the Labour party are very important.

A "soft" Brexit, in the single market and with freedom of movement, is basically no Brexit. It just means we carry on as we are but without being party to EU decision making.

If you are concerned about this, you should consider letting your MP know. You should be able to find their email by googling.

Do what you like histiny. I didn't realise that starting a discussion with my thoughts on the political situation re Brexit was such an outrage to democracy. It's all gone very weird.

I don't think Histiny said it was an outrage to democracy

you want people to get in touch with the party not in power and tell them you didn't agree with everything they wrote in their manifesto?

and actually, no, I am suggesting leave voters tell Labour that they do agree with what they wrote in their manifesto re Brexit.

But they won't. And if you read the survation poll I posted the tide is slowly turning.

JC is a Brexiteer. He is leader of the Labour party and its only one of the reasons I disagree with him being leader

Err, right, I can't find anywhere I said that, or inferred that, or even that could be even loosely interpreted as meaning that.
