Labour Party Manifesto

Re Brexit:

This is what it says

“A Labour government will immediately legislate for a referendum once elected.

“What will happen in a second referendum?
A second referendum won’t be a re-run of 2016. This time the choice will be between leaving with a sensible deal or remaining in the European Union.

A Labour government will negotiate a sensible deal within three months of being elected. It will be based on the things we have long advocated and discussed with the EU; trade unions and businesses, including a new customs union, a close single market relationship and guarantees of rights and protections.

Within six months of being elected we will put that deal to a public vote, alongside remain. Two clear options, both agreed with the EU – no false promises or bluster. Labour will then carry out whatever the people decide.”

Mr Simms, from Bilsthorpe, says he thinks the UK needs to do more to stamp out racism.

Dudley Simms is a world champion at karate but says he originally took the sport up to defend himself “against racists”.

He moved to the UK at the age of 11 as part of the Windrush generation, travelling alone from Jamaica to Nottinghamshire to meet his mother.

The 64-year-old was crowned a champion in his age category at the Shotokan Karate-do International Federation (SKIF) world championship earlier this year.
