but sir keir starmer this morning setting out his stall.e of labour's loudest cheer leaders for another public vote, it's perhaps no surprise that he is saying that the government should do this and there are differences of opinion even in the shadow cabinet, let alone in the labour party as a whole, as to how keenly they support the idea of another public vote. but it is sir keir starmer, the shadow brexit secretary's view, clearly, that if the government did that, then it would, in his words, break the impasse. let's have a listen to what he said on the radio this morning. the prime minister has got the option of going back to the eu and seeing what changes they would make to the political declaration. well, i think the political declaration they would make changes. the withdrawal agreement might be another option. or, of course, they could seek to break the impasse by putting a confirmatory vote on the face of a bill. but whatever happens, they have got to find a way of breaking the impasse. we've got five and a half months, which seems

sir keir starmer is causing a stir this morning in some ways.as no public vote attached to any deal done with the government, it would be very hard for labour to support it, because, in his view, up to 150 labour mps would not support any deal unless that was part of it. now, he is one, albeit very important, member of the labour negotiating team, but others on his side, not least to lead a jeremy corbyn, are less enthusiastic about the idea of a public vote, so it is not clear whether this is the official negotiating position or posturing from the shadow brexit secretary. very hard to see the government signing up to or agreeing to the idea of another public vote, that would probably be one red line too many for the prime minister, and the conservatives, the government is in these talks are going well, detailed and constructive, and if they weren't going anywhere, they wouldn't be putting as much time and effort into them as they are, not least because the tories desperately need to show they have a plan before the european elections later this
