Former leader rallies pro-EU MPs who German ambassador says now vastly outnumber ERG group of Eurosceptic Tories
Neil Kinnock has delivered a rallying cry to pro-EU Labour MPs, telling them that “fortune favours the brave” when it comes to forging closer ties with Europe.
Speaking at what was regarded by some as a show of strength by Labour’s significantly enlarged pro-EU wing, the peer said that the referendum was “not the first time in history that people had swallowed a load of rubbish”, adding that the party should now be telling them that they understood the reasons why they had voted to leave the EU.
“Fortune favours the brave – especially in the wake of a triumphant victory in the election,” he told a reception that was attended by MPs including the LME’s chair, the Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy.
