Boris Johnson slams Jeremy Corbyn over his two faced stance on Brexit

Parliament has erupted today with the attempts of remainer MPs to seize control of Parliament trying to get Jeremy Corbyn into number 10. Boris Johnson didn’t miss the opportunity to expose the duplicity of Jeremy Corbyn’s position by slamming him over his about turn on Europe:

“Quite frankly when it comes to the bill that Corbyn is insisting in bringing forward tomorrow with the procedure that is coming forward tonight, let us have no doubt. This is a Bennite. A former Bennite opposite. I mean, he still is a Bennite I believe. He is a man who voted against every single piece of EU legislation.

He voted against Maastricht, he voted against Lisbon, time and time again. He has said that we must uphold the results of the EU referendum. Time and time again he has said that he’s on the side of democracy and vindicating the will of the people. And what do we see now? He has been converted with his Momentum activists trying to take over the streets.

Converted into the agent of those who would subvert democracy and overturn the will of the people.”

This attack was in response to when the Leader of the Opposition accused the Prime Minister of failing to put forward proposals to the Brexit impasse before MPs.

Corbyn said: “The Prime Minister met EU leaders over the summer and the EU Council President Tusk at the G7.

“After these meetings, the Prime Minister struck an optimistic note saying the chances of a deal were, in his words, improving. His optimism was not shared by those who have been at the same meetings.

“The Prime Minister may claim progress is being made, but EU leaders report that the Government has so far failed to present any new proposals. Can the Prime Minister clear this up?

“Can he tell us if the UK has put forward any new proposal in relation to the backstop? If so, will he publish them so that these proposals can be scrutinised by Parliament and by the public?”
