Responding to a report in The Independent that some Labour MPs could back Theresa May’s discredited Brexit plan, Liberal Democrat Brexit Spokesperson Tom Brake said: 

“A small handful of Labour MPs have ended up in this position precisely because there has been an appalling disregard of leadership, duty and official opposition from Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell.

“Brexit can be stopped. There are enough brave souls among Labour and Conservative moderates to support us in doing the right thing to back the public on having a People’s Vote.”
