In Northern Ireland, Lord Adonis is rooting for a second referendum
Won't take no for an answer: Lord Adonis

On Friday July 20 a “private roundtable discussion” was held in Belfast in the Shankill Women’s Centre, hosted by Houston Solutions on behalf of the People’s Vote Campaign. 

Labour peer Andrew Adonis was present to put the case for a People’s Vote Campaign (PV) on Brexit, the same PV campaign that organised a poll of Unite members, which, according to them, showed that “57 per cent of members backed a public vote on Theresa May’s final Brexit deal, while 34 per cent are opposed.” 

The poll paid for by the PV involved slightly over 900 of Unite’s 1.4 million members, or 0.06 per cent.
