Another of Corbyn’s top team wants 2nd vote

Labour faced fresh Brexit turmoil as another member of Jeremy Corbyn’s top team came out in favour of a new referendum.

Shadow Northern Ireland minister Stephen Pound has backed the People’s Vote campaign for a national poll on the terms of a withdrawal deal.

He said: “This decision is not something we can just forget about a week later. This is a decision that is going to affect my grandchildren, their children, and every single generation in this country.”

Mr Pound’s former boss, Owen Smith, was sacked in March by Mr Corbyn after he called for a new referendum.
