SCOTTISH Labour’s Michael Shanks has been accused of “flip-flopping” over Brexit after deleting a tweet from almost a decade ago.
Question Time episode filmed in Nottingham in March of that year, featuring Labour grandee, and General Election candidate for East Lothian, Douglas Alexander, and two years before the Brexit referendum.Following his candidacy for theseat, with the ballot now due to be held in October, Shanks said that rejoining the EU is “not a question for now”.
Labour leader Keir Starmer has embraced Brexit and ruled out any return to the EU, single market or freedom of movement. The tweet was available to view on Friday, but was deleted over the weekend and unavailable on the website by Tuesday. He also revealed in the blog post that he could not vote for Labour and therefore would be leaving the party.Shanks later said he was “happy to rejoin when Keir Starmer took clear action to root out antisemitism and I’ve been proud to campaign for Labour ever since”.
