Campaign for a second referendum could 'derail' Labour, trade unionists warn

ESCALATING pressure for another referendum on European Union membership could “derail Labour’s chances more than any other campaign,” Trade Unionists Against the EU (TUAEU) warned today.

Anti-Brexit campaigners will march in Birmingham as the Conservative Party conference opens and organisers of a so-called “People’s Vote” march on October 20 are predicting a turnout of hundreds of thousands.

Another Europe is Possible says it is going to make an “intervention” on October 20 to give the pro-EU demo a “radical edge, with a sea of red flags, radical placards and banners, flares and an anti-Establishment tone.”
