Brexit news: Nick Ferrari blasts Lord Adonis over demand for second Brexit referendum
Lord Adonis is backing a campaign for a second Brexit referendum so that people can vote on whether they like the Brexit deal and decide if to leave the European Union.
Lord Adonis told Nick Ferrari on his LBC show: “If we weren’t geographically where we are as part of Europe, then maybe we could become a Singapore and have no close relations with our neighbours and not be part of a trading bloc but we’re not.
“We are part of Europe, most of our trade goes either directly to European neighbours because they are the closest countries to us so obviously we trade with them the most. Or, countries in which we have trade agreements.
“All these facts are becoming clear to people and as they are becoming clear I don’t think anyone voted to be poorer and I think want their say on whether or not we should go ahead with this.
