This Labour MP says a 2nd EU vote definitely isn’t a 2nd referendum and you’ll be facepalming into next week
Like a lot of people we hadn’t heard of Mike Hill but – like a lot of people – we have now. He is Labour’s prospective parliamentary candidate for Hartlepool, having represented the seat since 2017.
And we only mention this because of what he told the local ITV news man about Labour and its policy on Brexit. You’ll be facepalming into next week, you really will.
Slight confusion in the Labour Party?
Here’s what @MikeHillMP had to say about a second referendum. Who is right, him or @jeremycorbyn? #GE2019 pic.twitter.com/FWXT2sOLpU

Come again?
Reporter: "The Labour position is to have a second referendum."
Labour candidate: "No it's not. The Labour position is to negotiate a deal and within six months and put it to the people."
Reporter: "That is a second referendum."
Labour candidate: "No it's not." https://t.co/eYiBHlXYBY
