Theresa May was accused last night by a former cabinet colleague of planning the “biggest giveaway of sovereignty in modern times”, as she faced a potentially devastating pincer movement from Tory remainers and leavers condemning her Brexit plans. “Instead, the government and parliament must recognise we should give people a final say on Brexit. “An explosion is now the best forecast.”Campaigners for a second referendum claim that support for another vote is growing. Many Labour MPs say that if Corbyn were to back a second referendum, there would now be a majority in parliament to hold one. Asked on Saturday whether he agreed with Johnson’s call for a second referendum, Corbyn reiterated his opposition: “Not really, no,” he said.
