Jeremy Corbyn issued a three-line whip on Labour MPs and by 3:1 Labour MPs backed him. Many Labour MPs made similar pledges, some promising to oppose “a hard Tory Brexit”. They never accepted the 2016 vote and have sought to overturn it ever since. Labour should spend 2019 working to influence future trade, security, skills and migration, and preparing for a post-Brexit Labour government, not repeating the 2016 referendum. A reasonable Brexit deal is within reach.
