Being the fact he's not government he has no right being there. Just mischief making. Hoping for his own power grab.

....or trying to understand what can be negotiated when Theresa May realises she cannot get her rotten deal through Parliament

If he has no right being there, why are The EU continually meeting him and others then?

Do The Lib Dems, The SNP, Sinn Fein, The DUP, Plaid Cymru have no right being there and meeting them with also, as they have done over the 3 last years as well?

If he's in Brussels looking at the realistic alternatives once the worst PM in living memory has been booted out, then he's actually acting very responsibly (for a change).

They're meeting him to try and stop Brexit happening. If you seem to think that being given the leader of the Opposition has a right to be there then why aren't the leaders of the opposition of the rest of the nations there? It's just because he wants to cause as much upheaval as possible.

He was in Brussels having constructive meetings with EU leaders.
Unlike Theresa May, who was in Brussels throwing a strop and telling EU leaders that she WILL get MV3 through Parliament and that there is no other option.

If he is having constructive discussions about Brexit, then that's something he should have been doing two years ago, rather than doing nothing but sniping from the sidelines and calling for another general election

They're meeting because Brexit is a British issue - hence they're talking to British politicians about it. They've the met The ERG and Farage separately too, but that doesn't seem to irk you though. Corbyn has been meeting Oliver Letwin and Nick Boles of The Tory Party recently about alternative Brexit plans that may, or may not, get through parliament as well - he and others from other parties have every right and reason to be there - it's the way it works.

Er, if he's been invited then of course he has. I would expect all political parties to have done some groundwork on what is possible, that is what responsible leadership should be about. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Your Tory bias is absolutely laughable.

No it’s this one.

A version of Norway+ that is the 2nd best option for the EU after remain.

I’m sure this will go to the house once MV6 has been defeated by the 6th highest margin in history ............ [emoji51]


Sounds like a decent compromise for the 52 and the 48.

Not tory biased at all. The government should be the only negotiators. If labour was the government then only they should be there. It's quite simple really

Yes, you have a habit of trying to simplifying the obviously complex when it suits your agenda. You do it all the time.

Here, it appears Corbyn was invited to Brussels as leader of the opposition. You appear to be taking offence that he has dared to take them up on this offer. Very odd. I mean, exactly what harm does it even do? Oh, and the government ARE the only negotiators, that isn't what Corbyn is doing. He's not negotiating on behalf of the country is he?
