And you can bet if they had another referendum vote.the government will Rig it in there favour

Lavery wants a no-deal Brexit.

As things start to ‘heat up ‘ we will see JC and his merry men, unions, and other useful idiots coming out to support the vote..because what they all really want is a proper Brexit ie NO DEAL...why ? Because they will never be able to implement their plans...EU rules.

His right though

It would go down like a lead balloon in his constituency

AEHALL1983 Ian has spoken

Why, after a two-year wait, is it disrespectful to ask if one still wants the UK to leave? To not ask would be grossly disrespectful to the 18/ 19 year-olds who have not had a chance to vote. People need to ratify if this is still what is wanted. That's not being disrespectful.

Complaining that those wanting a further referendum are just bad losers misses the fact that politicians are unable to agree on how to implement the 2016 referendum result. This is because the 2016 vote was tainted and imprecise about the outcome. PeoplesVoteNow

Great to see a senior Labour mp talking like this

The ‘People’s Vote’ campaign is Newspeak nonsense. The people pushing for it are embittered Remainer elitists. They care nothing about the demos – the people – and everything about taking back the other part of democracy, kratos: power or control.

Those running this country will not make the same mistake of allowing the people to make there own choice if a 2nd ballot is held. They will make sure remain win After all the 1st vote has shown Democracy is nothing more than an Illusion

Labour's hardening stance tells us something - their polling is clearly showing there's no appetite across the country for a 2nd referendum.

James4Labour .IanLaveryMP is right . How can we write off 17 million votes ?

kerryhunt282 You mean fraudrendom?

When the TeleTory supports you, then you know you're doing the wrong thing, going the wrong way. Wake up.

Yeah a referendum based on lies and misinformation. Have another vote and don’t allow campaigning. Just a straight vote based on what has been revealed since triggering article 50.

Anyone got a solution to the Irish border issue? I thought not.

It’s a remainers vote, the people voted to leave... no ifs, buts and deals the options were to stay or go

RobertWinfield2 Amazing- something I finally agree with him about!

BrexitFutureUK I've always thought he's a knob head but this time he's right!

He is pathetic and fears true democracy .

He's absolutely right. 'People's vote' is just propaganda branding by sore losers.

They also voted in last years election. Does that means no other elections should be held, can it be more anti-democratic.

Unfortunately he's being a bit more honest than several of our own front bench.

To be clear

You get a referendum and you vote . It's that how democracy works ? Or do you keep voting till SOME of the people get the answer they want!

Poor old Labour! Another 'peoples' vote' after that said the Tories should run the country. All over, then. I guess democracy never was a lot of good, and it's better like they do it in Turkey.

More IDIOTS than 'people'!

BrexitFutureUK If the “people’s vote” bandits just admitted the fact they want a 2nd referendum because they literally can’t come to terms with our removal from a trading bloc. I wouldn’t take issue with it. But leavers are “people” too. They don’t want this vote. So it’s not a “people’s” vote.

Well said 👏

IanLaveryMP what absolute nonsense! There is ample reason ls for another referendum to deal with BrexitShambles. But in any case more democratic institutions revisit decision for good reasons, inc UKLabour, NUM and TUC /ScottishTUC

Maybe it was a deceived-peoples' vote. So perhaps an enlightened-peoples' vote may be a valid request.

He would would he not.

EXCEPT there was illegal overspending by Leave AND May’s deal is so far removed from the lies and 🦄 it’s only fair to ask the people again - is this what you want?

If Ian Lavery is attacking Labour Party policy, he should resign as Chairman of the Labour Party immediately.

I disagree.

He ain't no socialist

My point in fact, that this ‘People’s Vote’ is a poor piece of brand thinking. It should be the called ‘Brexit Plan Vote’.

Really? Basic words... OMG 🙄

SOME people voted. Not all the electorate. Some were confused and didn’t understand the implications of Brexit so didn’t vote; SOME PEOPLE VOTED BY POST AND THEIR VOTES WERE DISREGARDED. UNDEMOCRATIC.

Unlike him we can't all have our mortgages paid off by stealing pension money.

Well said.
