After a weekend of politicians feuding over the merits of a second referendum, Barry Gardiner, Andy Burnham and Conor Burns have become the latest politicians to criticise the People’s Vote campaign to do just this. Meanwhile the BBC reports of a leaked memo which shows that the group has its eye on changing Labour policy – encouraging MPs and activists to submit a motion at Labour conference next month.
As I reveal in this week’s Spectator, the People’s Vote campaign – which argues the public should have a say on the final deal – has a three-point Parliamentary strategy when it comes to bringing about a second referendum. Although the ‘Stop Brexit’ campaign has taken many forms since the referendum result two years ago – with legal challenges, anti-Brexit campaign groups and talk of a new party – this is the first time the various grassroots Remain organisations have come together behind a single message.
Those involved are feeling more optimistic than they have in months.
