Cable: Corbyn doesn’t want second vote

JEREMY Corbyn’s heart isn’t in a second referendum, Sir Vince Cable said yesterday.

The Lib Dem leader and other opposition parties met the Labour leader to discuss another vote for the first time.

Sir Vince told the Mail: ‘Anyone who thought Labour has signed up to the People’s Vote has been misled. Their heart isn’t in it. They’re just trying to keep the party together.’ He said Mr Corbyn’s team made it clear they would not support Mrs May’s deal being on the ballot paper in another vote.

Sir Vince said an amendment by Labour MPs Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson had been discussed, but the leadership was ‘quite hostile’ to it. If the Kyle-Wilson amendment to the deal passes, MPs would vote for Mrs May’s deal, but it would be subject to a confirmatory referendum.

Labour sources said they were discussing the final version of the Kyle-Wilson text.
