Historian Tim Stanley said that a second referendum on Brexit would not happen as long as Jeremy Corbyn is still Labour leader because “he has ruled it out". Mr Stanley, a historian and columnist told BBC Radio 4: “I think the situation we are into is the Norway style compromise but I don’t think we are into second referendum territory. “If nothing else, Corbyn himself has ruled it out and I never thought I would say this as a Brexiteer but God bless Jeremy Corbyn for being the leader of the Labour party because so long as he is Brexit is still going to happen.” On Monday, prominent Tory backbencher Justine Greening called for a second referendum, claiming another vote is the only way to resolve the parliamentary stalemate.

The former Education Secretary and Remain supporter, Ms Greening unexpectedly said the “leavers are right” in opposing the Prime Minister’s Soft Brexit plan. Writing for Times, the MP for Putney claimed the agreement is “the worst of both worlds”. She wrote: “We’ll be dragging Remain voters out of the European Union for a deal that means still complying with many EU rules, but now with no say on shaping them. “It’s not what they want, and on top of that when they hear that Leave voters are unhappy, they ask, ‘What’s the point?’ “For Leavers, this deal simply does not deliver the proper break from the European Union that they wanted.”
