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.
