The Brexit Secretary tried to throw shade at Labour’s Brexit position but it totally backfired – 14 stinging reactions

With 190 days until the UK is scheduled to leave the EU, and no agreement on the table, you’d think the Secretary of State for Exiting the EU, Dominic Raab MP, would be completely focused on getting the job done. Think again. This is a copy of a letter he’s found time to write to his opposite number in the shadow cabinet, Labour MP and QC, Sir Keir Starmer.

The gist of it is that he has detected rumblings that Labour might pause Article 50 to allow time for a referendum on the deal – if a deal ever happens, that is.

Keir Starmer wasn’t impressed.
