A group of 71 Labour MPs have written to party leader Jeremy Corbyn, urging him to drop his policy of reopening talks with the EU, telling him to instead get behind a second referendum to break the Brexit impasse in parliament.
The MPs claim that more Labour MPs will come in support for a 'people's vote' if the no-confidence vote in the government tabled by the Labour leader fails on Wednesday evening.
The MPs write: "We now face a moment of national crisis, where the facts and the views of many people have changed - and are continuing to change.
"It is now clear renegotiation is not a realistic prospect."
