REVEALED: The 120 Labour MPs determined to REVERSE Brexit by dragging UK closer to EU

The group of new MPs join an established membership of another 80 Labour colleagues, will look to steer the Government closer towards Europe.

Staggeringly 29 of the 47 Labour MPs represent Brexit-backing constituencies, including Harlow’s Chris Vince and Folkestone & Hythe’s Tony Vaughan.

Liam Conlon, who is the son of partygate prober turned Sir Keir Starmer’s chief of staff Sue Gray, is also a signed up member.

However, a recent YouGov poll has revealed that the British public do not believe Labour has a mandate to reverse Brexit.

More than half (51 per cent) of respondents rejected the suggestion that Starmer’s landslide victory means the Prime Minister can drag the UK back into the Brussels bloc.

A plurality of respondents also voiced caution against Starmer claiming a mandate to rejoin either the Single Market or Customs Union.

However, the Prime Minister does have a perceived mandate to forge a closer relationship outside the Single Market and Customs Union.

He could also carry public support by maintaining the deal signed with the EU by ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Despite once supporting a second referendum on EU membership, Starmer stressed Labour would look to make Brexit work ahead of the 2024 General Election.

“We’re not rejoining the EU, we’re not rejoining the Single Market or the Customs Union,” the Labour leader said.

Starmer appears unlikely to stick with Johnson’s deal, describing the accord as “botched” and vowing to “reset” cross-Channel relations.

However, Tory bigwigs warned the Labour Party would look to slowly return the UK to the EU’s orbit, sacrificing its newly-found sovereignty to become a rule-taker.

The Labour Movement for Europe is perhaps the largest grouping of Europhiles on the Government’s green benches.

Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy heads up the pro-EU ginger group and has been unequivocal in her starry-eyed love for the continental club.

Creasy watered down her position after the UK finally left the EU but just last year voiced support for the return of Freedom of Movement.

The ex-Shadow Business Minister also criticised Starmer over his pledge to “make Brexit work”.

“Don’t believe the hype,” she said, “the British public know you can’t make Brexit work.”

However, Labour Movement for Europe ambitions now appear publicly tailored to a post-Brexit world.

“There has never been a more important time to challenge those who seek to use that separation to exploit the British people or a better time to offer a clear alternative to those who wish to promote a race to the bottom on employment rights, social ,consumer and environmental protections, to dodge our international responsibilities, and to abandon international opportunities,” the group said.

It added: “As we look to the future of our country, the LME and its members will always speak up to expose the massive and continuing costs of Brexit, and to articulate the benefits and potential of partnership and of participation in democratic decision making.”

GB News has decided to dig deeper into the comments made by leading members of the Labour Movement for Europe.

The remarks suggest a desire to undo many elements of Brexit and some even suggest the prospect of returning to Brussels could still be on the cards.

Former Shadow Tourism Minister Alex Sobel appeared to suggest rejoining the continental club during the 2021 Labour’s Party Conference.

“There are new battles to fight,” he said. “The battle isn’t over. This is a battle for our children’s future and the future of our continent.”

However, Starmer appeared to reject the suggestion that the UK could rejoin the EU in his lifetime.

“I don’t think that that is going to happen,” he said.

Andrew Lewin, who defeated ex-Defence Secretary Grant Shapps to represent Leave-voting Welwyn Hatfield, is also an MP with particularly pro-EU credentials.

Lewin headed up Remain Labour and gathered signatures from 72 MPs and MEPs in 2019 to support holding a second referendum on EU membership.

He threw his weight behind a so-called Remain Alliance as a last-ditch and futile effort to prevent Johnson from romping to victory by committing to “Get Brexit Done”.

In an eerie article, Lewin appeared to suggest Labour should only park the idea of rejoining the continental club during its first time in office.

“By taking rejoin off the table for a first term,” Lewin wrote,” the Labour leader can shut down the ‘Brexit question’ and give himself the space to make progress in defining what our future relationship with the EU should be.”

Labour’s Camberwell & Peckham MP Miatta Fahnbulleh even said she was “very, very proudly and loudly Remain” and also wanted to discuss a “pathway back to entering the European Union”.

Swindon South MP Heidi Alexander, who represented Lewisham East between 2010 and 2018, previously claimed remaining in the Single Market was “consistent” with the 2016 Brexit referendum, adding: “That’s the way to protect our economy and that’s the thing most people are concerned about.”

Alexander tabled a Commons motion to throw out Theresa May’s bill to trigger Article 50.

Speaking at the time, Alexander said: “When the words Single Market didn’t even appear on the ballot paper, and the debate which preceded the vote was so misleading, I don’t feel democracy has been very well served.”

Ex-Wakefield MP Mary Creagh, who decided to do a chicken run to Coventry East after being ousted from her Red Wall Yorkshire seat in 2019, went on the record to make a number of disparaging comments about Brexit.

“There is no doubt in my mind that [the Brexit vote] emboldened them [racists] and is taking us back to the 1950s,” she said.

Despite her former constituents emphatically backing Brexit, Creagh co-wrote an article with ex-MEP Richard Corbett to urge colleagues to support a second referendum.

However, there are perhaps a handful of exceptions, with Stoke-on-Trent Central MP Gareth Snell vowing to keep the UK outside the EU.

He supported staying in the continental club but later urged Labour colleagues against pursuing a second referendum and dismissed calls to pursue a closer relationship with the EU by rejecting an EEA-style relationship.

Despite Labour Movement for Europe now publicly positioning itself as merely pro-EU collaboration, for the most part, a leopard doesn't change its spots.

A newly elected MP who is signed up to the Labour Movement for Europe refused to provide comment on the latest polling and what the UK's relationship with the EU should look like under Starmer's Government.
