Labour have committed to backing a second referendum amendment if their 'soft Brexit' plans are voted down by the Tory-DUP majority in Parliament. Let's break that down #SecondReferendum
Unless there's been a drastic change in Parliamentary arithmetic, MPs will vote a 2nd referendum down. 90%+ Tory MPs will oppose, lots of of Labour MPs - who, we're reminded aren't Corbynites, will vote against, either because they represent Leave seats and/or fear the bitterness
Labour has long been accused of possessing a big red 'STOP BREXIT' button it refused to press. If Parliament now votes down a second referendum which has Labour's backing, then no-one can ever blame Labour for blocking a second vote ever again.
WARNING:
▪️Parliament knows an Article 50 extension is needed.
▪️The EU won't grant one just so we can keep faffing around.
▪️The only way to guarantee that we'll have a final answer on the deal is a ratification referendum.
This will be painted as "the EU making us vote again".

Politicians will blame the EU for their failures (which is historically what got us here)
They failed to inform the public in a referendum they called, failed to take control of a clearly disastrous Brexit. Now their only way out is to blame the EU for resorting to a referendum.

Just wait... Politicians will be saying "It's not our fault. The EU is telling us it's either No Deal or #SecondReferendum and there's no time left".
These are the same politicians who will have been sitting on a deal they knew wouldn't change for the better part of 5 months.
