Brexit: Emily Thornberry says Corbyn's deal with Theresa May must include referendum

The Shadow Foreign Secretary wrote to all Labour MPs after the Leader of the Opposition met with the Prime Minister. Emily Thornberry has insisted that any deal with Theresa May to save her Brexit plan signed off by Jeremy Corbyn MUST include a referendum. Ms Thornberry today warned that any agreement that did not include a public vote would be 'in breach of the decision made unanimously by Conference in Liverpool and overwhelmingly supported by our members'. The Labour MP, who had to miss a vote today on holding indicative Brexit votes because her daughter was ill in hospital, said in the letter: 'Any deal agreed by Parliament must be subject to a confirmatory public vote, and yes, the other option on the ballot must be Remain'.
