Theresa May blasts calls for second Brexit referendum

As members of her Cabinet break ranks with competing plans on how to deal with the political deadlock, May will claim to MPs in the House of Commons that a second referendum would undermine faith in UK politics.

“Let us not break faith with the British people by trying to stage another referendum,” May will say, according to remarks released in advance by Downing Street.

“Another vote… would do irreparable damage to the integrity of our politics, because it would say to millions who trusted in democracy that our democracy does not deliver.”
