Labour policies beginning to triumph over vacuous Tory smears. Politics does not have to be content free! #GE2017

Where are all the Prime Minister’s supporters? The Conservative benches have been deserted. Extraordinary!!

The conservative backbenchers have just debased parliamentary debate by their orchestrated barracking of @jeremycorbyn who is trying to uphold parliament’s sovereign right to be consulted prior to a government engaging in military action. Shame on them!

I have consistently re-affirmed our conference position - which if you recall Paul was that we should call for a General Election and IF THAT WERE UNSUCCESSFUL nothing should be ruled off the table including a second referendum. Let’s get the priority right General Election 2019.

I'm delighted that Labour's @BarryGardiner has confirmed "immediate" no confidence vote next week. I'll be even more delighted when he backs the Labour conference position of a second referendum if that vote is lost...

Absolutely. We all stood on the same manifesto that accepted the referendum and said we would work to get a deal — but it must be a deal that benefits the whole of the U.K. PM’s red lines are pushing U.K. towards a No Deal disaster. We may need a public vote to stop her.

This letter sets out in robust terms that the Prime Minister must abandon her Brexit red lines. It does not take the option of a public vote off the table.

29 Children dead. Saudi Arabia leads the attack. U.K. still sells arms to Saudi Arabia. Fox says we have “strictest arms controls in the world.” UN says suspend arms sales where there is a clear risk of violating humanitarian law. Labour says “There clearly is. Stop now.” #Yemen

We already said that if parliament can take back control and agree on a credible deal then it should be put to a confirmatory vote of the people. Happy now?

@BarryGardiner Hey Barry if there is a GE, how about offering the public a final vote on any deal Labour manages to negotiate?
