Sunday Show Round Up: Labour’s Brexit Plan Under The Spotlight<\/b>
\nDespite Theresa May\u2019s on-again, off-again, on-again relationship with getting a Brexit deal this past week, it was Labour\u2019s Europe policy placed under the spotlight on this Sunday\u2019s political shows.<\/p>\n

Just as the Cabinet will soon have to actually decide what Brexit means,\u00a0Jeremy Corbyn\u2019s somewhat ambiguous approach is getting harder to maintain.<\/p>\n

On the BBC\u2019s Anderw Marr programme this morning, Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott was pressed on whether the party was moving towards backing a second referendum – as she herself had recently told her constituents she did. \u201cThe Labour Party does not support a second referendum and we\u2019ve never supported it and we don\u2019t support it now,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\nHowever shortly afterwards, Deputy Leader Tom Watson said Labour could not rule it out even it was not \u201clikely\u201d. He told BBC Radio 5\u2032s Pienaar\u2019s Politics: \u201cWhen you are in complex negotiations on behalf the nation you shouldn\u2019t rule anything out\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, over on Sky News\u2019 Sunday with Paterson,\u00a0Shadow International Trade Secretary Barry Gardiner, refused to give a yes or no answer to whether the party could eventually end up supporting another vote. \u201cThe Labour Party has not said we will have second referendum. We will honor the referendum result,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

And in a further sign of the softening of Labour\u2019s Brexit position, Richard Burgon, the shadow justice secretary, told the BBC\u2019s Sunday Politics that the party could see\u00a0a role for the European Court of Justice after the Brexit transition period. \u201cWe\u2019re open minded about that, because any trade deal, any deal needs a court or some other institution to oversee and protect that deal. That just seems to be common sense,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\nOf course just because Labour\u2019s position is being scrutnised, does not mean all is well on the Tory benches. Speaking to the Sunday Politics, ultra-Remainer Ken Clarke branded suggestions that Tory MP rebels who had backed a \u201cmeaningful vote\u201d on the final Brexit deal should be deselected as \u201cidiotic\u201d.<\/p>\n

He was speaking minutes after his fellow Tory backbencher, Nadine Dorries, had suggested that very thing. She told the programme the rebels had broken their manifesto pledge to support Brexit. \u201cTo go back on those promises that they were elected to honour is something for their associations to discuss and something for them to consider,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

“It is totally absurd to say that this is helping Jeremy Corbyn and weakening Theresa May” – Ken Clarke on Wednesday’s Brexit vote #bbcsp pic.twitter.com\/Qa9iSoOx6W<\/a><\/p>\n

December 17, 2017
\nClarke dismissed out of hand Dorries suggestion his vote had helped Labour. \u201cIt is totally absurd to say this is helping Jeremy Corbyn, it\u2019s weakening Theresa May and all the rest of it. Here we are, three days after the vote took place, Theresa May is no weaker than she was after that. Jeremy Corbyn is not marching towards Downing Street,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

“We want to halve it by 2022 and eliminate it by 2027” – @AndrewMarr9 questions @DavidGauke on the increase of rough sleeping in England #marr pic.twitter.com\/IuPQ2tVm6M<\/a> \u2014 The Andrew Marr Show (@MarrShow) December 17, 2017
\nIt was not all about Brexit this morning however. Work and Pensions Secretary David Gauke joined Marr and conceded there were \u201ccases where we got it wrong\u201d on benefit payments.<\/p>\n

He was challenged about the impact of benefit sanctions, which have been blamed for forcing some of the poorest in society into debt and leaving them at risk of homelessness.\u00a0\u201cWe have a welfare system that is based on conditionality, and rightly so. We pay money to people but there are certain conditions that are in place,\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s not to say that there aren\u2019t hard cases, cases where we get it wrong, we want to work very hard to eliminate that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back on Pienaar\u2019s Politics, Labour MP Mike Amesbury was asked whether he could be friends with a Tory. \u201cNo. Not as a friend. Not as a drinking buddy or anything like that,\u201d he said. \u201cBut of course pragmatically you work with people across parties.\u201d
