However, it was emphatically not Labour’s policy to hold a second referendum prior to us leaving. That they have tried to make that a precondition of supporting the Brexit bill is a betrayal of their manifesto and those who voted for them.
Therefore one has to ask, what version of Brexit did ALL 17.4 million leave voters want? Only now are the Brexit Ltd voters choosing the "No Deal" option.

Firm believers in Brexit claim to know what they wanted. That still leaves a lot of leave voters who may not want that Hard Brexit so favoured by disaster capitalists.
