What is the Independent Group’s position on Brexit?
The group’s 11 members have much more in common than points of difference, such as their enthusiasm for Europe, but as Sean O'Grady explains, they still need to work out a detailed approach to Brexit
Like all political parties, or, in this case, a proto-party, the Independent Group (TIG) of MPs has a formal, manifesto-style policy on Europe, which is vague and soothing and can unite them.
