Here is a fuller account of Corbyn’s attack on May during PMQs accusing her of lacking a Brexit plan: | |
On Monday, you told the House, ‘We have a plan which is not to set out at every stage of the negotiations the details’. | |
I’ve been thinking about this for a couple of days. I think when you’re searching for the real meaning and the importance behind the prime minister’s statement, you have to consult the great philosophers. | |
The only one I could come up with is Baldrick, who says, ‘Our cunning plan is to have no plan’. | |
Brexit was apparently about taking back control but the devolved governments don’t know the plan, businesses don’t know the plan, Parliament doesn’t know the plan. When will the prime minister abandon this shambolic Tory Brexit and develop a plan that delivers for the whole country?” | |
Earlier he joked that he feared May would say “Brexit means Brexit” again. | |
May replied: | |
You try to poke fun at the phrase ‘Brexit means Brexit’ but the whole point is this - it’s this government that’s listening to the voice of the British people. | |
Brexit means Brexit, that means we’re coming out of the European Union. | |
What you try to be doing is frustrating the will of the British people by saying that Brexit means something completely different. | |
