Whether we stay or leave, ultimately we should be doing our utmost to ensure people don't lose jobs, livelihoods. This has to be a bigger priority than Brexit. Sadly there are too many pricks out there who are happy for people to lose their jobs if it means Brexit being delivered.

As for Labour delaying Brexit, on March 12th, a majority of 149 voted no to Theresa May's deal. 75 Tory MPs voted against May, presumably most of them no-deal seekers. Had they backed their leader, we would now be out of the EU. If a party has a majority in Government yet fails to deliver because around a quarter of its MPs don't support a particular bill, they can hardly blame anyone else.
My understanding is that EU law has helped in 3 main respects for workers...1. 28 days paid leave and a limit of 48 hrs iWork per week. 2. Guaranteed maternity leave of 14 weeks. 3. Prt time workers having same rights as full time. After Brexit its for the UK to decide which ir=f any of these to keep. But...Uk legislation already allows for 5 weeks plus 3 days annual paid leave a year ( inc public holidays), and 52 week maternity leave a year..both of which are much better than the EU....so why is Corbyn making such an issue about it when UK law seems OK
