Sky News: ‘Up to 70’ Labour MPs oppose second Brexit referendum”, says Caroline Flint, Labour MP

According to Sky News this morning, Caroline Flint, whose constituency voted Leave in 2016, says the party’s MPs should be given a free vote on the issue.

Labour whips will order its MPs to back the party’s bid for a second Brexit referendum, John McDonnell has hinted, amid warnings up to 70 of them are opposed to another public vote.

One of those, Caroline Flint, told Sky News that up to 70 of the party’s MPs are opposed to holding another referendum.

“I think there is something like 60 or 70 Labour MPs who feel as strongly as I do against a second referendum,” the Don Valley MP said.
