Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
Quote:
GAFFE-PRONE Labour leadership challenger Owen Smith has claimed he would “potentially” sign Britain up to the Euro and borderless Schengen area if he was Prime Minister.
The devout Europhile said he would fight the 2020 general election making a “really strong case for us to stay” in the EU, but if the country had already left then “hypothetically” he could apply for the UK to rejoin.
Struggling Mr Smith told the BBC on Sunday: “If we had gone into a further recession… then I think the sensible and responsible thing for a Labour government to do is to say we are better off in the European Union.”
Asked whether, as a new member, the UK would be obliged to sign up to the single currency and the Schengen Area, Mr Smith said: “Potentially, but again we are getting into hypotheticals built on hypotheticals.”
