In an opinion piece in The Guardian of 26 September 2017, Richard Angell demanded to know what Labour's position is on Brexit, saying "It's time Corbyn told us".[2]
Three months earlier, Angell told The Independent:
- “We’re losing a £260,000 a year grant. If we don’t replace it there is a scenario in which Progress could close, that’s a real possibility."[3]
