What, like he gave MPs a free vote on the EU back in the day when he and Heseltine deposed Thatcher cos she was stalling on Maastricht, and then he stepped into her shoes and then he took us into the EU whether we liked it or not? Except he didn't, right?

There's only one option. Brexit only ever was leaving the EU entirely. We didn't vote to remain in any, single bit. That's why they made the question so unambiguous so fools like you couldn't twist what it meant. Hasn't stopped you though has it?!

So Brexit should b decided by 600+ mps, not the people who those mps said SHOULD decide?

No, they put the question of Brexit in the hands of the electorate, they can't now claim they have the right to choose whether it takes place because the people didn't opt for their perfered option

Why doesnt Blair and Major get married and produce horrid little grey pixie children.

like maastricht?

Grey in appearance, grey in intelligence, grey in intellect, grey in logical analysis.....etc etc..who listens to grey Major.l

Like he did on Masstricht?

Maastricht. Hypocrite.

Just like he did on Maastricht. Oh wait..... Hypocrite.

Hang on.... you weren't keen on that while in power. Maastricht was a bridge too far.

But he didnt allow US the PEOPLE to vote on Maastricht Ive been waiting ever since to have my voice heard & now its being quashed by dreadful remainers

Jesus why a bloody hypocrite this man is....our problems stem from Major leading us into Maastricht without any say for the UK public...now he doesnt like the direction of travel he suddenly wants the public to have their say!!! You have nothing useful to say....

Yesterday's man trying to butt in again ! How dare he !! Silly old fool

Whatever they vote for, do the opposite.

Just like Major gave a free vote on maastricht🤔

Why ? He didn’t give his MPs a free vote on the Maastricht treaty ? In fact Major and then Blair are responsible for Brexit by never allowing the public to have a say

Sit down and shut up Mr Major youve done enough damage to this country already, why are the media talking to these dinosaurs of politics!!

Says the man who bulldozed the Maastricht Treaty through the Commons using 3-line-whips & a confidence vote. The hypocrisy & lack of self awareness of this man is staggering!

We've already had a 'free vote' back in 2016 so just get on with it.

Give the people of Great Britain and Northern Ireland a free vote as to whether they want to leave the EU or not..................oh...........wait !!!

If there was a free vote, then Brexit would be ended. But so would a lot of political careers. So a gerrymandered 2nd Referendum would stop Brexit & they can pretend the people changed their mind

Ironic given he refused to allow the public a vote on this. How you can support this man is a mystery to me!

If Major would have given the public a referendum on Maastricht we wouldn't be in the position we are today

Shame he didn’t give MPs a free vote over Maastricht, which he rammed through on a confidence motion.

If Major had allowed a peoples vote on Maastricht we wouldn't be in this mess today.He tried to whip his Tories into acceptance many wanted a public vote but he wouldn't allow it. This was a huge change to.our EC arrangement when trade became politics and Brussels took over

Yes, because we should listen to the man who wasted enough to pay for (how many?) hospitals to join the Euro and fracked us over completely at Maastricht... Can it JohnMajor

You could do ,as we have majority of remain MPs in parliament we would remain going against the Leave vote,also 402 constituencies voted leave I believe so it's difficult.

No one seems to mention possible terms Remainers expect for Remain, the direction of EU travel, the Implementation of Lisbon Treaty, loss of rebate, whether we have to join the Euro? Or accept Schengen, the Move to full Integration? Impacts on UK over next 5, 15, 40+yrs?

Says the man who damaged the UK when PM

The people have had a free vote. Now do as you were instructed and get us out of that failing, corrupt, political project.

A course of action to break the Brexit deadlock also suggested on Thursday by former Taoiseach BertieAhern

Our MPs UKParliament has done a great job so far haven’t they!! FFS! These politicians have got Brexit wrong and most of their Negotiations has failed! It makes sense now to give all the power to the British Public on a FinalSay and call for a SecondReferendum BBCPolitics

We still going on about Brexit.

As long as its leave in one way or another.
