"No, the Tories included the promise for a referendum in their manifesto, and kept that promise. The referendum was 'called' by Parliament, with a majority of labour MPs also voting to hold a referendum. To say that the Conservative Party called the referendum is disingenuous."

Still nitpicking I see, Nigs? And it's you who is being disingenuous of course. The Referendum was proposed and sponsored by the Tory government of the day, led by Cameron. It was in their manifesto, as you very well know, because they were terrified of losing votes to UKIP in the 2015 election - it was a political move in the interests of the Tory Party, not the interests of the country as a whole.

Having been proposed and sponsored by the Tory government, it is true that it was ratified by parliament, but the fact remains that, had the Tory government not chosen to serve their own party interests by putting the referendum in their manifesto and then before Parliament, it would never have taken place, there would have been no reason for May's half-cocked, near-suicidal 2016 GE, nor her disgraceful decision to jump into bed with the dreadful DUP, and the government could have spent the past two-and-a-half years concentrating on dealing with things that would have been in the best interests of the country as a whole, instead of making a complete pig's-ear of their so-called 'negotiations' on BrexShit.

And for the Tories to now demand Labour's input and support, having kept every party except themselves out of the process from day one, and for them and their supporters to howl for JC to declare his, and Labour's, position re BrexShit is not because they believe it's in the interests of the BrexShit process - it's simply another party-political manœuvre by the dishonest May and her followers in order to try to discredit Labour ahead of what looks more and more like an inevitable GE, because they are defecating building-blocks that they'll lose.
