Jeremy
Corbyn MP, Leader of the Labour Party, responding to confirmation that Brexit talks can now
move onto the second phase, said:
“It is
welcome that the European Council has at last agreed to move to the crucial
second stage of the Brexit negotiations.
“However, this should have happened months ago. The truth is that the
Government’s chaotic handling of the Brexit talks has hindered
progress, fuelled uncertainty and risked economic damage.
“Theresa May must learn from her mistakes, put the needs of the country before
her party and prioritise negotiating a future relationship with the European
Union that puts jobs and the economy first.”
