...but Labour’s just as divided

LABOUR splits deepened last night after Diane Abbott warned against a second referendum – even though 71 of Jeremy Corbyn’s MPs called for one earlier this week.

The Shadow Home Secretary predicted another national vote would give the same result.

Appearing on Question Time, she said Remainer MPs calling for a rerun of the 2016 poll should ‘be careful what they wished for’. Jeremy Corbyn is continuing to push for a general election but has refused to rule out a fresh referendum.

It emerged yesterday he faced a dozen resignations from his frontbench if he supported a new vote, amid fears of a backlash in Leavevoting constituencies.

Miss Abbott said of a second vote: ‘My view, and I voted Remain, is that if we had a People’s Vote tomorrow, Leave would win again and you would just have a lot of very angry Leave voters.’
