Brexit Secretary Barclay: EU elites' sympathies lie with a Corbyn govt

Sun, 17th Nov 2019 01:22

Nov 17 (Reuters) - Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay has
accused the European Union 'elites' of preferring a British
government led by current opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn after
the upcoming UK elections.

Writing in the Sunday Times newspaper, Barclay said he was
'dismayed' by the comments of Donald Tusk in his farewell speech
on Wednesday, wherein the outgoing European Council President
said that Britain will lose influence in international affairs
and become a "second-rate player" after leaving EU.

"This interference in our domestic election campaign shows
where the EU elites' real sympathies lie: with a Corbyn
government which would renegotiate a deal and then campaign
against it in another referendum, propped up by the SNP or the
Liberal Democrats who would simply revoke article 50 without
letting the British people have a say", Barclay wrote http://bit.ly/2QtN3An.
