LABOUR chairman Ian Lavery warned today that the party could be “finished” if it backs a second referendum.

Mr Lavery reportedly told leader Jeremy Corbyn that Labour’s future was bleak if it failed to deliver on the result of the 2016 vote during a shadow cabinet meeting.

The Labour leader and the Prime Minister were engaged in a second round of talks today to seek a consensus position ahead of a crunch summit in Brussels on April 10.
