Labour Mps and Job Creation

deal: It is my belief and not just mine that it will persuade Labour MPs towards the deal, Mann said, according to The Guardian. A package focused on job creation would make it very difficult for Labour MPs in leave areas to vote against the deal unless they want a second referendum . But Anna Turley, who represents Redcar, said the offer amounted to little more than bribes or sweeteners to MPs who signed up to a revised Brexit deal which we know will make those constituencies worse off .

One pro-Brexit backbencher, John Mann, said he was in talks with civil servants about creating a multibillion investment fund aimed at leave-voting areas following a meeting he and a group of 25 MPs had with the prime minister a fortnight ago. No 10 is drawing up a package of measures aimed at wooing Labour MPs into supporting a revised Brexit package, in the belief that a hard core of up to 30 Tory Brexiters will never vote for any deal the prime minister can renegotiate. The prime minister's spokesman added we are determined to lead a programme of national renewal, post-Brexit saying that May had a long-term commitment to tackle inequalities, and that no community should feel that they are left behind . Downing Street rejected the idea that any plan amounted to cash for votes although any investment package would have to be carefully put together as there will be demands from Conservative MPs for greater investment in shire areas and possibly further demands from the Democratic Unionist party who are currently opposed to May's Brexit deal. A Downing Street spokesman would not be drawn on the details of the investment fund that Mann hopes the government will announce as part of the package, which is also expected to include legislation to protect workers' rights after Brexit.
