Labour wants to push ahead with Brexit

I don't envy any of the leaders given the current mess, but that Labour appears to think it would have a better chance than May to get a special deal with the EU just by picking different cherries is delusional.

I am no supporter of referendums in the UK system and fear that another, whatever the result, would bring years of division and possible violence. If the vote decided to cancel Brexit I am sure all those saying "we won, get over it" would suddenly find "the will of the people" didnt matter this time. Equally, if leave won, especially by another few percent margin, I would not expec4 all to be sweetness and light.

What is said at this Labour conference will, in my opinion, be critical. Including if the leadership says nothing.
