Change of mind on second vote. They will reflect on members vote for a second vote! But want a G.E.

Seems like ‘bugger Brexit, give me keys of No.10’

Labour will support vote on Brexit if members vote for it.

Tom Watson spoke out in The Guardian yesterday .

Corbyn gave a speech at the Womens conference yesterday, very long queue to hear McDonald at the Momentum Conference at the same time.

Sitting on the fence , they want a G.E. Difficult to imagine Corbyn dealing with the EU. Expect McDonald would step in for him

Brexit should really be the first thing on their agenda, however Corbyn and friends seem peculiarly uninterested in it.

According to Labour List the three big issues set to dominate the conference this year.

1. Rule Changes. 2. Anti semitism. Brexit.

1. Comes under the democracy review proposals (plus open parlimentary selections ) another round which will be discussed and voted on by the NEC on Saturday.

2. Will likely crop up at fringe events !!!!

3. Mainly revolves around the idea of a second referendum
- termed ‘ a people’s vote’ by its advocates - and could change Labour .policy dramatically.
