Senior UK minister: Second Brexit vote deserves to be considered
London (CNN)One of Theresa May’s most senior Cabinet ministers has raised the prospect of a second referendum to break the Brexit deadlock, as speculation over the future of the beleaguered UK prime minister and her twice-defeated divorce bill reaches fever pitch.
A day after hundreds of thousands marched in central London to demand another public vote, Chancellor Philip Hammond said a second referendum – likely to be one of the options put to lawmakers in the coming days – was a “coherent proposition” that deserves consideration.
His comments signal a clear break from May’s repeated refusal to allow the British public a second poll on Brexit, and mark the first time a senior Cabinet minister has spoken about such a move as a viable possibility.
