Labour’s feeling a bit more comfortable talking about Brexit, it seems: Emily Thornberry at #Lab21 says the party’s central trade priority would be “fixing our trade relationship with Europe,” not chasing “small gains” from deals with countries further afield.
Thornberry drops a new policy: A Labour government would make it illegal for military/security training to be sold to countries which carry out human rights abuses
The characteristically-lucid @anandMenon1 says Labour hasn’t been critical enough of government’s post-Brexit trade policy. DIT’s strategy isn’t about trade, he says, but politics/performance & “signing as many [trade deals] as you can that do as little as possible economically.”
