This is Harry.
And welcome back to our english grammar lessons, where we try to help you with your understanding of the english language.
So we're back to sentences, and my favorite topic at the moment, the whole aspect about Brexit.
I'm sure lots of people are bored with it, but a lot of people are fascinated and interested in it.
And if you forgive me, I'm going to use another example for this week's sentence.
This is about the opposition party, or the main opposition party in the UK, which is the British Labour Party.
Okay, so here's the sentence.
Labor should unequivocally back, remain in a fresh Brexit referendum and only then pursue power in a general election.
Its deputy leader said, okay, so what we have here is a statement by the deputy leader of the Labour party, Tom Watson.
And he has made a statement that he believes that the best route for the Labour party is to support a second referendum and then an election.
And this is in complete contrast to his leader, Jeremy Corbyn.
So these guys are due a showdown because they don't seem to see eye to eye.
And I love this sentence, not only because it shows the split in the various parties in the UK, but also it's got some wonderful words.
And I have one of these, my favorite words, unequivocally.
Unequivocally, okay.
And then we have other nice words like pursue.
Yeah.
And, of course, Brexit, as this wonderful new word that has joined the Oxford Dictionary.
So what have we got in this sentence?
