Reinhard Bütikofer, the European Greens’ co-leader in the European Parliament, said Prime Minister Theresa May should not be the only leader held responsible for Britain’s “tragic” exit from the bloc. During a furious tirade, he laid into Mr Corbyn for his “damaging, anti-European, narrow-minded role” in the “crisis”. Mr Bütikofer said the opposition leader’s stance was “petty nostalgic socialism” and “ridiculous”.
In a statement, he said: “Labour bears as much responsibility as the Conservatives."
He said Mrs May’s "extremely unfortunate, in some parts simply helpless, Brexit position masks the damaging, anti-European, narrow-minded role played by Labour Party leadership in this crisis”.
Mr Bütikofer also accused Jeremy Corbyn of doing "everything" he could to "make sure Brexit actually takes place”.
