British Government states clearly that there is no going back on leaving the EU, after Germany called for a second referendum

Again Britain disappoints the EU after the government set aside call by a senior German government official advising the government to conduct another Brexit referendum.

The call for a second referendum was made by the General Secretary of German’s SPD party, who is of the believe that doing so would be necessary after Brexit terms have been concluded. Arguing that British voters were not properly informed concerning the referendum.

Ms Barley said: “When the referendum was held, nobody really knew what it would be about - not the British people, not even the political class.

“A lot of people wrongfully thought that Britain could get a deal like Switzerland or Norway without the inconveniences… without free movement of labour. Now they know that this isn’t the case.”

She said there is a craving in Britain for a second referendum due to the fact that people are beginning to understand that Theresa May has no plan.

A spokesman for Theresa May said: “The British people delivered a clear position. I would point you to the Prime Minister’s words when she triggered Article 50 and said ‘there is no going back’. That is our position.”

The French and German elections are expected to delay Brexit as neither nation will be able to focus on any deals with Westminster.

The leader of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron, has pledged to keep fighting for a second Brexit referendum.

The Lib Dem leader is arguing that the British people did not vote to leave the EU single market, and so should be given a vote on the final Brexit deal.
