Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell now favour a people's vote. I wonder if the Conservatives will respond and try and take a harder Brexit line.
Quote:
Labour is edging closer to support for a second Brexit referendum, after a drubbing at the European Parliament elections which saw Remain voters desert them for Liberal Democrats and Greens.
In early-morning messages after seeing the party slump to third place with a 14 per cent share of the vote, both Jeremy Corbyn and shadow chancellor John McDonnell said that the issue of EU withdrawal must be put to a public vote – which could come in a general election or a Final Say referendum.
Notably, neither mentioned Labour’s alternative Brexit deal, which has previously been presented as a preferable option to a second referendum.
