So we lose out EHIC cards and any chance of free medical treatment. Those of us who can’t get travel insurance because of our medical problems might have to give up going abroad for our holidays. Gee, thanks.

Many did, thankfully more did the right thing for Britain and voted Leave.

I am sure many of her constituents did the right thing and voted Remain!

Tom – appreciate you responding. You are of course right we should assume Sarah will be true to the words of the Manifesto she stood on and vote to leave the Single Market and Customs Union.

Thanks Michael. The interview took place shortly after the election and I didn’t ask Sarah to expand on Labour’s published policies in its manifesto.

Tom very interesting article. Was Sarah able to clarify if Labour’s policy is to leave the Single Market and Customs Union when we leave the EU? Everything else rather feels like meaningless words. Leaving these is truly leaving the EU (as of course voted by her constituents).
