Labour’s Thornberry calls for Brexit inquiry

Britain should hold an inquiry into how Brexit has been handled, Labour’s Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry said. “When all this finishes, we will need to look at how it happened,” Thornberry told a live taping of Politico EU Confidential podcast in London on Sunday. “We will need to look at why it is that we spent billions of pounds on no deal. You know, why David Cameron had a referendum without telling the civil servants to prepare in case he lost the referendum,” she said. “And also, frankly, we will need to look at a lot of Cabinet minutes where they are discussing what’s good for the Tory Party and not what’s good for the country,” Thornberry said.
