UNION leaders hit back at Tom Watson today for calling for delaying an election to hold a second referendum on the EU.
The deputy Labour leader attacked the party’s official stance — that a general election should come first — by saying a second referendum should be called beforehand and Labour should be “unequivocally Remain” in such a vote. His own West Bromwich East constituency voted 68 per cent to Leave in 2016.
“A general election could fail to solve Brexit chaos,” he said.
