You Are Running A Zombie Government by Pedagogueeye: 5:14pm On Jan 16, 2019
Opening a debate on a no-confidence motion due to be held in the British parliament on Wednesday, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Prime Minister Theresa is running a “zombie government.”

Corbyn tabled the no-confidence motion on Tuesday evening following a massive defeat for May after her Brexit deal​, painstakingly negotiated with Brussels, was voted down in the House of Commons by a huge margin of more than 200 votes.

The Labour leader said May had wasted two years with her “doomed strategy” and that any prime minister who loses such an important vote should step down.

Corbyn said that May’s Conservative Party was “fundamentally split” on Brexit meaning it was unable to govern the country at a time of crisis. He said the blame for the mess lies with May and confirmed that she had not invited him to cross-party Brexit talks.

May’s decision to exclude Corbyn from cross-party talks after the Tuesday vote was widely condemned by MPs and political commentators on social media.

Asked by Liberal Democrat Alistair Carmichael if he would support a “people’s vote” on the Brexit deal currently on offer, Corbyn said that “all options” would be on the table, but rejected the possibility of a no-deal Brexit.

During the debate, Corbyn said there is “no majority for this government’s Brexit deal and there is no majority either for a no-deal scenario,” which he said would be a “catastrophe.“

Instead, the Labour leader said the “best outcome” would be to hold a general election. An election, he said, would give “new impetus” to Brexit negotiations and bring “fresh ideas” to the issues faced by the British people.

Responding to Corbyn, May said that a general election is the “worst thing” that could happen and would create “division when we need unity” and “chaos when we need certainty.”

​May said a second referendum on Brexit was not an option and that there was “no indication” that a new vote would solve the crisis faced by the country. May suggested that regardless of how good any Brexit deal was, Corbyn would still​ vote against it.

She said that all Labour and Corbyn had offered on Brexit are “vague aspirations” rather than specific suggestions. May also accused Corbyn of tolerating anti-semitism in the Labour Party.

Corbyn has previously adamantly denied accusations that he holds anti-semitic views, saying he has spent his “whole life” fighting discrimination and racism.
