London Mayor’s threat to derail Brexit: Sadiq Khan vows to make staying in Europe a Labour policy so it would ‘trump the referendum result’ if they win power

‘The Mayor of London has said Brexit could be halted if the Labour Party made staying in the European Union a manifesto policy, and won the next election.
Sadiq Khan said it could still be possible to ‘trump the referendum’ result by effectively putting it back to the public as a manifesto pledge.
The Mayor has made the intervention at a time his party is in turmoil over its own position, though he has never waivered in his pro-EU stance.
He told the Guardian: ‘For it to have credibility with the British public, there would have to be a Labour manifesto offer, because the public would say, not unreasonably “Hold on a sec, we voted to leave and you’re now sticking two fingers up at us”.
‘What could trump the referendum result is us having a manifesto offer saying we would not leave the EU, or we would have a second referendum.”
