How so? Labour got a lot of Remain votes in the GE.

Could easily have opposed A50 in Parliament based on a need to do some actual planning first, but still ran the same commitment to leave in the GE manifesto.

Plus when they agreed A50 no GE was planned, so its not like that was a carefully crafted political plan!
