Deputy Labour leader Tom Watson has said “we need the people to decide” on Brexit, calling for his party to “urgently” consult its members on whether it should support a second EU referendum.
He said a lack of clarity by Labour on Brexit ahead of the European elections led to “electoral catastrophe” for the party.
Labour won 14% of the vote in EU election, coming in third place across Britain, behind the Liberal Democrats (20%) and the Brexit Party (32%).
