Responding to reports that Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn met this morning to discuss a new Programme Motion for the Withdrawal Act, Leader of the Liberal Democrats Jo Swinson said:
“This is yet more clear proof that Jeremy Corbyn wants to deliver Brexit. Yesterday Boris Johnson’s deal passed because 19 Labour MPs walked through the lobby to vote for a Brexit deal that would be bad for our NHS, bad for our economy and bad for our environment.
“It seems that Jeremy Corbyn has thrown Boris Johnson another lifeline this morning, as six white men met to discuss pushing through a Brexit deal which will wreck our country.
“Jeremy Corbyn is a Brexiteer, and Remainers won’t forget if a shady backroom deal between Johnson and Corbyn helps to deliver Brexit.”
