The Vauxhall MP has accused her own party of pretending to support exiting the bloc but actually trying to stop it. She said: “Labour must stop the farce of pretending to accept the referendum result while doing everything possible to sabotage it.” She added: “The people were asked and the answer was given. In a democracy that is enough”. Labour was accused of deliberately trying to sabotage negotiations in August when the party dramatically changed its policy on the eve of third-round talks.

Nine Labour back benchers last month supported a Lib Dem amendment to the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, which transfers EU law into UK law. The amendment sought a second referendum on the terms of the Brexit deal. Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has been so unclear on his stand on Brexit a recent YouGov poll showed Labour Remain voters are as convinced that the party is “completely against Brexit” as Labour Leave voters are convinced the party is “completely in favour of Brexit”. Labour supporters were left further confused after Sir Keir Starmer said he wants to maintain the “benefits” of single market membership but deputy John McDonnell completely ruled that out. Northern Irish-born Ms Hoey also said Lord Adonis should be “ignored” after he shockingly quit the government in a row over Brexit.

GETTY Corbyn has been vague about Labour's Brexit policy

The peer said the referendum was a ”dangerous populist and nationalist spasm" in an astonishing rant blasting Theresa May's "extreme" approach to the process saying it had "no parliamentary or populist mandate". He also said he was stepping down because “the EU (Withdrawal) Bill is the worst legislation of my lifetime. It arrives soon in the House of Lords and I feel duty bound to oppose it relentlessly from the Labour benches. "Brexit is a dangerous populist and nationalist spasm worthy of Donald Trump.” Slamming his comments, Ms Hoey wrote in the Telegraph: “He should be ignored and Labour should now get on with the work of creating the vision of an outward-looking progressive and independent United Kingdom.”
