Corbyn is warned he will have to explain to his voters why he is ordering Labour to ‘betray’ the EU referendum by voting AGAINST crucial Brexit laws

‘Jeremy Corbyn has been warned he will have to explain to Labour voters why he is betraying the referendum by voting against crucial Brexit laws.
The Labour leader confirmed today he would impose strict orders on MPs to vote against the Government’s flagship Repeal Bill, which copies EU rules into British law.
Although the government is still expected to win as Tory backbenchers are not likely to rebel at second reading, the move sets the stage for a bitter battle later in the process – as Theresa May tries to force the crucial measures through parliament without an overall majority.
