She said: "“Our country may be more divided than ever, but if there is one thing uniting people across the country and the political divide, it’s a feeling of Brexit fatigue - of wanting this moment to end.

“But even Britain’s departure from the EU wouldn’t spell the end of Brexit crisis - it is only the beginning of it.

And we're off! 🙌

Here in London, thousands of people from across our city and country have come together with
@peoplesvote_uk to send a clear message:

Enough is enough - it's time to give the British public the final say on Brexit. #PeoplesVote 🇪🇺#PutItToThePeople 🇪🇺 pic.twitter.com/wJzXF4UB6N

“Any kind of Brexit means 10 more years like the three we’ve just had. That’s another 10 years of funding cuts for our already struggling schools. Ten more years of our NHS being dismantled, and of Brexit haemorrhaging investment out of our public services.

“That’s why this Saturday, Labour MPs will be marching in Westminster calling for the public to have the final say.”


Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will also speaking alongside Conservative peer Michael Heseltine and former Attorney General Dominic Grieve and Labour’s London Mayor Sadiq Kahn as well as MPs Jess Phillips and David Lammy.
