SECOND-POLL CALL HACK FEARS

A PETITION calling for a second EU referendum had attracted three million supporters last night.

But there were claims that the appeal on the official Parliamentary website had been hacked.

More than 80,000 names were removed after an investigation revealed they had come from as far away as North Korea and the Vatican.

A spokesman for the Commons Petitions Committee said: “The Government Digital Service is taking action to investigate and, where necessary, remove fraudulent signatures.

“People adding false signatures should know they undermine the cause they pretend to support.”

The Commons is bound to debate any petition backed by at least 100,000 voters.

Meanwhile, Scot- land’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said yesterday that the Scottish Parliament could try to block the EU exit by refusing “legislative consent”. She said she believed Holyrood would have to approve any UK Brexit law, and MSPs were likely to vote against it. But the leader of the Scottish Tories, Ruth Davidson, and constitutional law expert and Tory MSP Adam Tomkins insisted the Edinburgh parliament did not have the authority to veto Brexit. Some Brexit backers WARNING: Sturgeon took to social media and radio phone-ins yesterday to say they regretted casting a vote for Leave.

A voter identifying himself only as Bill called BBC Radio Sheffield saying he had only wanted to give the Government a “bloody nose”.

He said: “I woke up to the news and then my daughter phoned, absolutely devastated.

“She said she’d never been sadder, and I thought: ‘My God.’ I felt like I’d been nasty to someone and instantly regretted it.”

Psychic Samantha Rawlinson, 29, who does Tarot readings, said: “People are turning to the spirit world to give them answers about what the future holds in the real world.”
