be lying now obviously there are problems that labour are going to need to deal with as part of their campaign strategy there are europhiles that see a statement like that as labour are just another brexit party that would do it differently naturally this does not stand up to any scrutiny labor is overwhelmingly pro-european in fact the way i i pitched i think to someone is look we know when the conservatives say things in campaigns like yes of course we believe in the nhs it must be publicly funded and we will fight for the nhs we know they're lying why are they lying because it's not in their nature they're pro-privatization so we know that that's it's not in their nature it's the same thing with labor labor is overwhelmingly pro-european it was under its previous euro skeptic leader let us not forget that momentum which was the cult of corbyn set up to to support his leadership was clearly against brexit on that issue they were they were against him what lecture tears there were in labor and remember their voices were magnified because of the leader you know they they're all but silent now you know when i see brexit posts on labor forums now the counter view is almost completely absent you know that's that's the members we also know that the leadership for anti-brexit not just pro-eu actively anti-brexit shadow ministers like ed miliband rachel reeves emily thornbury are savaging brexit all the time you can't go more than a week before they've said something against it kiestama is firmly pro-european he is adopting his silence right now for tactical reasons not ideological i'll get onto that towards the end you know now i'm not saying he's getting all the tactics exactly right i really don't see why it has to be a tactic of complete silence from it but that's not the point he's not a brexiteer his cabinet aren't full of brexiteers the party are overwhelmingly against brexit so two of the supporters so too are the voters labour have already stated at their conference and in subsequent interviews that they would seek closer alignment the eu stated that now they've been coy on many of the details but that is also the tactics being employed and it's also a tactic that they can get away with like normally if you're not clear about a strategy the uh a journalist who's not only on your side can push you and expose the fact that you're not being very detailed about it no problem here you just say well what the detail is will be determined by negotiations between our government and the eu which cannot begin until we are in government but what it will mean is more british jobs more british trade on the beginning of the country being taken seriously on the world stage again you can answer that all day long but i'll tell you what closer alignment isn't it isn't the same as the conservatives policy on brexit for those of you oh it's just the same as the conservatives how how it's not even a tory like brexit policy the conservatives want divergence from the eu on all
