Defeating Theresa May is not enough. Labour must put its own Brexit vision to the fore

LABOUR can congratulate itself for inflicting a “humiliating loss of authority” on Theresa May in Wednesday night’s Brexit vote, but the party needs to better promote its own vision for our future outside the EU.

Parliament’s palpable lack of faith in the Prime Minister as our negotiator-in-chief is shared beyond Westminster. Since the Conservatives’ disastrous election result in June, the government has had no mandate for its approach to Brexit or anything else.

This is not simply a matter of incompetence.
