Long-Bailey: 'Absurd' to suggest voting for Johnsonpublished at 15:05 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2019
Shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey says it is "absolutely absurd and makes no sense" to advocate for Labour supporters to vote Tory.
Her comments come after former Labour MP Ian Austin said Jeremy Corbyn was "not fit" to be prime minister and voters should back Boris Johnson.
She said: "I hope, when Jeremy is prime minister, that he [Mr Austin] will change his mind."
"I think it is very sad. Ian did great work as an MP. He has been an Independent for some time and I don't think it is any secret that he differs on policy and he doesn't like Jeremy," she added.
