The EU is an enemy of the working class

As the Tory government’s popularity continues to plummet, liberal elites have cranked up their campaign to rejoin the EU. This time around, they are looking to co-opt the momentum of workers striking for higher pay. According to the Rejoiners, the best way to secure workers’ rights is to abandon the supposed folly of Brexit.

One Remainer currently trying hard to pass himself off as a ‘people’s champion’ is hectoring LBC presenter James O’Brien. Last week, on his LBC show, he interviewed RMT general secretary Mick Lynch and admonished him for his union’s pro-Brexit stance. Workers’ ‘hard-won rights’, O’Brien intoned, ‘are going to be abolished by legislation being pursued by the current government as a direct consequence of the Brexit you supported’. O’Brien seems to think that by daring to vote for Brexit, workers have effectively handed the Tories a gun to shoot their dog.
