The shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, will set out his party’s vision for a fairer Brexit deal on Thursday, saying he does not believe the country wants a “bankers’ Brexit”, in a new pitch aimed at both Conservatives voters and working class leave voters. They don’t want a bankers’ Brexit any more than I do. “Labour will fight for all British businesses, not just financial services, to have single market access,” the shadow chancellor will say. McDonnell will say that May’s apparent volte-face over Heathrow expansion demonstrates that she could just as easily renege on her pledge to forge a Brexit deal that benefited all Britons. “Not a Bankers’ Brexit for the lucky few, but a People’s Brexit for the many.”McDonnell hinted that the UK should be prepared to pay EU budget contributions for single market access.
