Angela Rayner was compelled to defend Labour's Brexit coverage after being placed on the spot by a livid LBC caller as we speak.

The deputy Labour chief, who backed Remain within the 2016 referendum, was requested about feedback by Tory MP Tobias Ellwood that Brexit is a "mistake" as she took half in a phone-in on James O'Brien's present.

Steph from Wimbledon requested why Labour was not reflecting Mr Ellwood's place.

She mentioned: "My query may be very easy. Tobias Ellwood, a Tory MP, got here out and admitted that Brexit is a mistake. I'm not listening to something from the Labour Party that displays that very same place. Why not?"

Ms Rayner replied: "Because leaving the EU was a decision that was made some years ago in a referendum and Remain lost and that's the facts.

"We've left the EU. I believe the best way during which we have finished it's a canine's dinner if I'm sincere.

"I think the debate is how we keep a closer relationship with Europe and move forward. But you can't put the genie back in the bottle.

"We had a referendum, the nation voted to depart the EU and this Government, the Conservatives, have dealt with it I believe disastrously.

"We were promised oven-ready deals, we were promised lots of money. Jacob Rees-Mogg said our energy bills would go down - that hasn't happened.

"So I believe persons are offended that what they had been promised hasn't been delivered. But we had a referendum and the referendum was to depart and that is the place we're.

"We've been very pragmatic in our approach since then, saying that we've left the EU but that doesn't mean to say we can't look at how we can get better trading relationship and better collaboration."

Presenter Mr O'Brien mentioned: "You won't answer this question to Steph's satisfaction and everybody understands why.

"But is there some extent at which it turns into politically dwell once more as a result of the polling, think about it hit 80 % saying it was all a horrible mistake, you have received Farage admitting it was a failure?"

But Ms Rayner insisted if the UK rejoined the EU it would be on worse terms.

She said: "Ok let's stroll by means of that, so everybody says it was a horrible mistake and we should not have finished it.

"You can't go, 'Can I come back in where I was?' That's not an option. You either try and rejoin and then you rejoin on different terms which I don't believe people will be happy with.

"Or you try to make good of a state of affairs that the Government have utterly dealt with disastrously."

It comes after senior Conservative MP Mr Ellwood known as for the UK to rejoin the only market.

He informed the i newspaper: “Nobody dares mention Brexit on the Labour or Conservative side or look at the numbers to see whether economically it would be wiser for us to be in or outside of the single market.

“Surely we should have that strength of character, the courage to look at the biggest generational decision which is now clearly not gone in the right direction. I didn’t know anybody who voted Remain or Brexit, who expected us to be where we are today, but we dare not go there.”
