Despite Boris Johnson’s success in agreeing a withdrawal deal with Jean-Claude Juncker and fellow EU leaders in Brussels, Brexit remains far from certain and a second referendum is still a possibility.

The most direct route to a referendum is one which supporters look unlikely to take, for tactical reasons.

This would be to attach an amendment to the “meaningful vote” motion tabled by the government for debate on Saturday, stating that parliament approves the deal only if it is confirmed by a public vote.
