LOSER'S VOTE AMENDMENT

The Sarah Wollaston (Independent Group) amendment on staging a second EU referendum has been heavily defeated by 334 votes to 85.  Keir Starmer had already indicated that Labour would not back the amendment, despite the party's recent policy u-turn on a second referendum.  Starmer, like most of his Labour colleagues, abstained from the vote as directed.  However, 25 Labour MPs still voted in favour of it, but only four of those represent Leave constituencies.  18 Labour MPs voted against.

Alongside other leading supporters of a people’s vote, I am abstaining on TIG amendment. This statement alongside other colleagues explains why. We hope that our supporters outside Parliament trust our judgement and trust that we’re doing the right thing for the right reasons. pic.twitter.com/IcpBqaoNvD
