A customs union agreement with the EU would leave Britain as a vassal state after Brexit, Barry Gardiner has warned. The shadow international trade secretary said such a move – which would mean Britain still having to comply with some EU laws – could lead to an “asymmetrical relationship” which would harm Britain’s trading interests. Gardiner spoke out as Labour MPs continued to debate the country’s ties to the EU. One suggestion being discussed is of a link similar to that of Norway, […]

Blair “saved Corbyn” from de-selection
A former chief whip has entered the debate over de-selections by revealing that Tony Blair stepped in to prevent Jeremy Corbyn being removed because the then prime minister believed the party is a “broad church”. Hilary Armstrong, who was the government’s Commons enforcer between 2001 and 2006, described Corbyn – then a backbench MP – as the “greatest rebel ever”. When some members of Corbyn’s Islington North constituency approached Armstrong, however, about the possibility of trying to oust the veteran […]
