WATSON'S REMAIN CRUSADE

Not content with yesterday's u-turn on the Euro leaflets, Tom Watson is demanding a concrete pledge on a second referendum in the party's Euro manifesto.  Tom is desperate to overturn the 2016 result, so it's no surprise that he wants to overturn the last Labour manifesto that famously stated "Labour accepts the referendum result"...

Labour member or supporter? Please let your reps on the NEC know if you want them to support a confirmatory ballot on a brexit deal in our euro manifesto: @hudaelmi_ @Yasmine_Dar @LabourRachel @NavPMishra @ClaudiaWebbe @darrenw_cardiff @jonlansman @AnnDHenderson @PeterWillsman

Tom Watson and co must be working on the assumption that this will attract voters from the hard Remain parties of Green, Lib-Dem, Plaid/SNP and of course the so-called 'Change UK'.  Sadly for Tom it will also alienate swathes of Labour Leave voters like many in Tom's own 68% Leave voting constituency.
