• THE Campaign for a People’s Vote on the final Brexit deal gathers new supporters at a rapid pace with more than 370,000 signing The Independent’s petition following its launch on July 24.

Another vocal supporter is Oxford City Council which last week became the second council to join calls for a vote on the final outcome of the Brexit negotiations.

I have written to the Conservative councillors who represent me on whether they would support a similar council motion as I am concerned on the negative impact of Brexit in Camden.

Councillor Flick Rea confirmed recently that all Liberal Democrat councillors would be resoundingly in favour of a motion backing a People’s Vote.

I am also hopeful that many Labour councillors would follow her lead as the chair of Camden Labour Party’s Brexit working party, Lazzaro Pietragnoli, tweeted prior to the local elections that: “…voting Labour in any ward at the local election in Camden will deliver a (politically and tactically) stronger message against Brexit than voting for Green, Lib Dem or independent candidates.”

Accountability for campaign pledges is central to the proper functioning of democracy and is why it is absolutely essential we have a People’s Vote to hold Brexiter politicians to account for their false prospectus and cheating.
