Brexit: Labour will whip MPs to back second referendum, says McDonnell

The shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, has said the Labour party will whip its MPs to back a second referendum rather than offer a free vote, a move that senior backbencher Caroline Flint warned could lead to the rebellion of up to 60 MPs.

Traitors labour is finished so will b the Tories if she does not just walk away on the 29th

pushing for second referendum, now, opens the doors for brexiter's no deal; May's deal seems bad, but being enslaved by trump's America is worse; a brexiter baffling move from labour would a last minute support for May's deal

Why? What about freedom of speech AND opinion? What about allowing the respective MP's to REPRESENT their electors? What about democracy. It strikes me that Labour under JC and JM believe that democracy is great PROVIDING they agree with us. What is the Exec Ctte's view?

Trivial I know but John McDonnell in a 'V' neck jumper on a sofa in front of chintz curtains and leaded pane window? Interesting news though.

Because johnmcdonnellMP & jeremycorbyn know there’s no risk of getting one.🙄

Opinium/Observer: CON: 40% (+3) LAB: 34% (-3) LDEM: 9% (+1) UKIP: 7% (-) GRN: 3% (-) Fieldwork: 26 Feb - 01 Mar

Could they leave it any later?

And what happens when you lose that one by a bigger margin than you lost the first? A third vote? A fourth? Except for a handful of FBPE idiots, celebrities and the MSM, no one wants to be part of a tyrannical European super-state..

Quite right that is what they are paid for. If these spoilt brats don't, sack them. We are paying these parasites £90,000 a year.

Won't work.

He didn't say that though did he!!

How can any Labour MP not back a second Referendum? How can they be in their position & not know that the 1st Referendum was sabotaged & should be overturned & that Brexit itself is a Tory coup to sell off the countries assets & where most people will be worse off.

Being ordered how to vote Democratic ?

Pretty certain he didn’t say they would outright whip. Seems like your headline is incorrect. People who subscribe & donate to you shouldn’t be happy about this and rightly so.

anandMenon1 If anyone cares what he actually said, he basically said that issue hadn't been settled. And yet this ridiculously celebratory headline was written. Great work editors.

Another example of leftist government ignoring the will of the people. When will Europe stand up for itself? Or will they be passive and be invaded by another European tyrant?

Labour leadership...The crazy gang.

anandMenon1 ALL UKLabour in interests of UK generally and their constituents specifically should be using every platform available to challenge dominant Brexit narrative, it's been captured by Leave corruption and evidence free claims, while a supine media look on. facts FactsMatter

In 25 days?

That to democracy.

Hmm, didn’t actually say that though did he?

Note to all British limeys, America will trade Trump for Brexit ... Drink ur best tea & TTFUB. Love America

An utter betrayal of the UK electorate and the democratic process. UKLabour and jeremycorbyn displaying their socialist, dictatorial ambitions already.

Do not know anybody who would support Labour unless the useless Corbyn and this diminutive twit are gone!

That'll highlight the Blairites.
