The Brexit blockers: Bitter losers from all parties gang up to plot to stop Britain's exit from the EU - which was voted for by 17 million people

UK Daily Mail:

British and European politicians are plotting to block the UK's exit from the EU.

 

On a chaotic day in which the Labour Party went into meltdown, a campaign was started to force a second referendum.

 

Tony Blair, Nicola Sturgeon, some pro-Remain MPs and a senior German official said a rethink was needed now the consequences of quitting the Brussels club were clear.

 

They were joined by Sir Richard Branson, who has called on Parliament to take a second look at the EU referendum result.

 

The Virgin Group founder accused Leave voters of opening 'a Pandora's Box of negative consequences' for Britain based on 'false promises' by the Boris Johnson-led Brexit campaign.

 

It came as at least 21 Labour frontbenchers resigned in a bid to replace Jeremy Corbyn with a pro-EU party leader.

 

The plotters hope a general election can be held later this year before the start of the formal process of quitting. Last Thursday's referendum could then be reversed.
