Labour deputy leader Tom Watson has put pressure on Jeremy Corbyn to make a second referendum 'a red line issue' in Brexit talks with Theresa May.
The party’s deputy leader has put pressure on Jeremy Corbyn to make a second vote ‘a red line issue’ in his talks with Theresa May.
In comments in today’s Observer, the Labour MP said a ‘confirmatory’ referendum on any deal was ‘the very least’ that voters should expect. He added: ‘Now that we know a bit more about what Brexit means, the very least that Leavers and Remainers deserve is a final say – a confirmatory referendum – on any deal.
‘And, above all, they deserve better than Nigel Farage’s promise of a far-right Brexit that would solve nothing.’Theresa May acts as a marshal during the Maidenhead Easter 10 race on Good Friday
