Jon Ashworth MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister without Portfolio, responding to comments from Theresa May this morning, said:

“It’s increasingly clear that Theresa May is steering us down the road of hard Brexit despite having no idea where it leads. The ‘bumps in the road’ she talks about are real threats to our economy, yet she’s recklessly ploughing on, putting jobs and prosperity at risk.

“We desperately need a plan which delivers for working people, but the Tories have no answer to the challenges facing us. With Theresa May at the wheel the Tories are driving us into trouble”.
