Labour bosses have EIGHT completely different positions on Brexit as party changes its mind on a daily basis
The First Minister of Wales is the latest Labour figure to contradict the official party line on Brexit
LABOUR'S splits on Brexit have continued to widen with no sign of the party coming together over Europe despite Jeremy Corbyn's election success.
In the latest sign of disagreement, Wales's top politician today called for Britain to stay in the single market - just a day after the leader explicitly ruled it out.
This year alone, Labour frontbenchers have proposed at least EIGHT distinct policies on Britain's post-Brexit future.
Here The Sun guides you through the wildly contradictory positions put forward by warring Labour bosses.
CLEAN BREAK: BREXIT MEANS BREXIT
Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell have signalled that Britain must leave the single market and probably the customs union after Brexit.
Yesterday the party leader claimed it would be impossible to stay a member of the single market while leaving the EU.
He said: "The single market is dependent on membership of the EU."
Asked what the Labour position on the customs union was, Mr Corbyn replied: "We haven't jumped on either side of that fence but, again, the customs union is part of the European Union."
Mr McDonnell, the Shadow Chancellor, said last month "I don’t think it’s feasible" to stay in the single market, adding: "I think people will interpret membership of the single market as not respecting that referendum."
Both men have been adamant that Britain must retain "tariff-free access to the European market" - but have not spelled out what compromises they would make to attain that goal.
STAY IN SINGLE MARKET: BREXIT MIGHT NOT MEAN BREXIT
The First Minister of Wales today claimed that Labour could seek to stay in the single market - suggesting it "makes no sense" to quit the free-trade bloc.
He told the BBC: "If we were not in the single market, we would be having a debate about how to access it, not how to leave it.
"There is no need to leave the single market, even as we leave the EU."
He admitted that Britain "wouldn't control the rules" of the single market if we stayed in, but said it would be worth it to keep "full and unfettered access".
But that view was disputed by Shadow Cabinet minister Barry Gardiner, who said that being a member of the single market without the power to change its rules "would be to become a vassal state".
END FREE MOVEMENT: IMMIGRATION HARMS BRIT WORKERS
Mr Corbyn has always acknowledged that the UK must end free movement from Europe in the wake of last year's referendum result.
Yesterday he went further - saying outright that mass immigration damages poor Brits by undermining their chances of securing a good job.
The Labour boss said that after Brexit: "What there wouldn't be is the wholesale importation of underpaid workers from central Europe in order to destroy conditions, particularly in the construction industry."
He vowed to ban companies from advertising jobs in the UK abroad before they have tried to hire Brits.
CONTINUE FREE MOVEMENT: IMMIGRATION IS A RIGHT
Shortly before the General Election, Diane Abbott - one of Mr Corbyn's closest allies - said that supporting immigration should be part of a "general law" for the left.
She wrote in a book: "The demagogic campaign against foreigners that was first championed by Ukip and is now mainstream Tory policy obscures a key point.
"It is important to remember that freedom of movement is a workers' right."
The Shadow Home Secretary compared the Tory plan to end free movement of EU citizens to the ideas of Enoch Powell.
RAMP UP TRADE: QUIT THE CUSTOMS UNION TO SET US FREE
Labour's General Election manifesto emphasised the importance of Britain taking its place as a major trading nation post-Brexit.
The document said: "Labour will work with global trading partners to develop 'best-in-class’ free trade and investment agreements that remove trade barriers and promote skilled jobs and high standards."
The manifesto also highlighted "the rules-based international trading system of the World Trade Organisation" as being central to the UK's economic future.
That implies that we would quit the customs union after Brexit - because Britain cannot strike independent deals while we are still in the grouping and we do not currently have an independent seat at the WTO.
SHUT DOWN TRADE: QUIT THE CUSTOMS UNION TO AVOID HAVING TO JOIN DEALS
Barry Gardiner, the Shadow International Trade Secretary, agrees that Britain should quit the customs union - but for the opposite reason.
He said last night that we should leave the body because he does not want the UK to be included in future trade deals between the EU and other countries.
Mr Gardiner said it would be a "disaster" for Britain to be "bound by" an agreement with the EU.
He added: "We would have to accept the liberalisation of our markets, we would have to accept their goods coming into our markets on the terms agreed by Europe."
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: HAVE OUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO
Several senior Labour figures have proven reluctant to explain what they want to get from Brexit.
In an interview last month, the Shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer said only that he wanted to "leave options on the table".
He suggested that Britain could stay in the single market - but only if we strike a deal to end uncontrolled migration as well.
Last weekend, Rebecca Long-Bailey demanded a "flexible approach" to the single market.
The Shadow Business Secretary said: "If we could negotiate membership of the single market while dealing with free movement and dealing with the other issues, then that would be great.
“We want to have our cake and eat it."
GOING SOFT: LABOUR'S BREXIT WRECKERS
Away from the front bench, a large minority of Labour MPs are keen to negotiate the softest Brexit possible or even reverse the referendum result.
Chuka Umunna attracted the support of 49 other MPs with an amendment to the Queen's Speech aimed at keeping the UK inside the single market.
MOST READ IN POLITICS
Four shadow ministers quit or were sacked for backing the rebel amendment, which would have prevented Britain from negotiating trade deals or controlling our borders.
On Saturday, pro-Corbyn backbencher Clive Lewis warned that Labour's new supporters would abandon the party if it did not promote close ties with the EU.
He said: “If they think Labour is too closely aligned to a policy which will see us coming crashing out of Europe in the way they disagree with, then I think you would be very silly to think they would still continue supporting you just because they voted for you at the last election.”
