What he meant: Folks, have you noticed there\u2019s a war on? Kicking me out while there\u2019s such instability in the Middle East might not be the best look.<\/p>\n
\u2018Heart of Europe\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
What he said:\u00a0\u201cThe last government was defined by breaking our relationship with Europe. This\u00a0Labour\u00a0government will be defined by rebuilding our relationship with Europe, by putting Britain at the heart of Europe, so that we are stronger on the economy, stronger on trade, stronger on\u00a0defense.\u201d <\/p>\n
What he meant:\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0got\u00a0to talk about Europe because otherwise Wes\u00a0Streeting\u00a0(a possible leadership contender) will\u00a0\u2014\u00a0 but\u00a0I\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0really announce anything\u00a0new\u00a0without complex negotiations with Brussels.\u00a0Any time to chat later,\u00a0Ursula?\u00a0<\/p>\n
What he said:\u00a0\u201cWhat I want to do is take a big leap forward with the EU-U.K. summit this year and take us closer, both on trade, the economy,\u00a0defense\u00a0and security and that will then be a platform on which we can build as we go forward. And as we do that, I strongly believe we\u2019ve got to turn our back on the arguments of the past, not open old grievances.\u201d <\/p>\n
What he meant:\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0not ruling out rejoining\u00a0the customs union, de facto rejoining the single market \u2026 or even rejoining the EU in a future manifesto.\u00a0I was the shadow Brexit secretary who backed a second referendum, after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Man of steel\u00a0<\/p>\n
What he said:\u00a0\u201cLegislation will be brought forward this week to give the government powers, subject to that public interest test, to take full national ownership of British Steel.\u00a0Public ownership in the public interest, urgent government on the side of working people, making Britain stronger with the hope of industrial renewal. That is a Labour choice.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What he meant: Folks, have you noticed there\u2019s a war on?
