Controversial MP David Lammy has launched a blistering attack on the 17.4 million leave voters of the UK by declaring that a “radical right stands behind them”.
He was speaking at a rally in Liverpool before the Labour Party conference takes place where he thundered: “this cannot be a Labour Party that allows other to wreck our country and stand with the far right”.
The demonstration included Labour MPs, MEP, Union leaders and Labour party activists hoping to pressure the Labour leadership into supporting a so-called ‘people’s vote’ on the final Brexit deal agreed by Theresa May’s government.
Lammy spat out:
We march because we are aware that this country is at a tipping point. Are we to become the country of Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg, and Nigel Farage?
We can see a radical right that stands behind them. That joins forces with Donald Trump and Marie Le Penn. We saw that we do not want that in our country.
I think of my parents and that Windrush generation that came to this country. I think of the Labour Party that gave us the race relations act, and the party that gave us the enquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
I say this cannot be a Labour Party that allows others to wreck our country and stand with the far right. I hope, my god, that we march of that.”
This comes as Jeremy Corbyn has said that he would back a second referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU if Labour activists at the party conference this weekend demand it.
A new poll found just eight percent of Labour members are opposed to another referendum after the conclusion of the Brexit talks.
The same poll revealed 90 percent of members would now vote to remain in the European Union.
The YouGov survey of 1,054 Labour members found even in the North and Midlands, where many Labour constituencies voted Leave, there was overwhelming support for a second referendum. This shows that there is a growing disconnect from Labour voters, of whom many voted leave, and the increasingly liberal and middle class party and membership that inhabits the metropolitan elite bubble.
