Theresa May condemns Tony Blair's call for second referendum - but allies are secretly preparing for fresh public vote
The prime minister hit out at predecessor Tony Blair, who on Friday told Sky News she should "switch course" and back a second referendum because of deadlock in parliament.
Yet behind the scenes, her de-facto deputy David Lidington has discussed a new poll with Labour MPs.
And her chief of staff, Gavin Barwell, was forced to deny reports on Sunday that he was planning for a second referendum.
Over the past fortnight, Mr Lidington has held a series of meetings with Labour MPs, including one on Thursday with leading campaigners for a so-called "people's vote".
