Labour leadership sits on their hands

by Steve Beasant on 14 March, 2019

Speaking after the Labour Party fails to back a People’s Vote and the House of Commons votes for an extension of Article 50, Leader of the Liberal Democrats Vince Cable said: 

“Labour have predictably let down the cause of a People’s Vote this evening. This was their first chance to stand up and be counted, but instead they sat on their hands. Brexit remains in chaos with the government having faced heavy defeats this week. 

“The Commons has agreed by a large majority that Article 50 will have to be extended. With the hallowed exit date of March 29 more or less scrapped, it now seems inevitable that Brexit will be delayed or very possibly stopped. A People’s Vote remains the only way to resolve what is fast becoming a national crisis.”
