As a passionate believer in internationalism and cooperating with our European friends Rachel campaigned strongly for the ‘Labour In’ campaign.
It is becoming more and more apparent that the Conservatives have no credible plan for Brexit and Rachel continues to support Jeremy Corbyn and Keir Starmer’s approach of trying to limit the damage that Theresa May and Boris Johnson could unleash on jobs, security and the environment.
Throughout the general election campaign European citizens, and their friends and family raised with her their concerns about their welcome in the UK. As a parliamentary candidate she emphasised the manifesto commitment to give EU citizens the right to remain and is she remains committed a future where cooperation with our closest neighbours and our allies with a shared values and history is Labour’s policy.
