TRANSPORT union TSSA reiterated its opposition to Brexit today — but some members warned that a second referendum would obstruct Labour’s vision for public ownership.

A statement agreed by the union’s executive said Brexit had “sadly” been a “victory for the xenophobia of the nationalist right.” The statement said leaving the EU “poses a real threat to our worker rights, our jobs, our NHS, our public services, our food standards and our fight against climate change.”
