Piece in the Guardian (I apologise for mentioning it's name).
Mentions some Labour MP's being at odds with Jezza if he goes for the peoples vote thing. They represent constituencies where people voted leave and they fear a backlash.

Yes the next GE will be interesting. I have mentioned Boston in Lincs 76% for leave MP voted remain how can ask for their endorsements now?.

I live in a Conservative leave constituency with a leave MP, the constituency office contacted me recently to confirm some details with me on a separate matter and in conversation I was told that they are receiving large numbers of emails and phone calls from people saying if Brexit is cancelled they will never vote for them again, anecdotally it was said that they had heard that the Labour constituency office was receiving likewise. This is in a consituency with a leave MP, let alone a remain one.

That's why it's smart to be cross party agreement on potential ref 2. That way the voter can't single out any one Party

The vote in the first referendum in 2016 on the matter of remaining in, or leaving the EU was across supporters of all political parties, so no particular political party could be singled out as being either the party of remain or leave.

They can if one or both scupper it. It won't much change the way remainers vote but it would lead to a hugely significant change in the leavers vote that would have far reaching repercussions. It could smash the two parties and the two party system.

Good point. Don’t think that’s published and you’re right could be she’s holding the investments.

£750k house. I'd guess no mortgage at his age, but could be wrong. His pensions will be well over £1m. On paper, he's part of the 1%, not that he'd ever admit it.

I'd be amazed if he didn't have savings or investments somewhere, given he seems to live the most basic life imaginable. He has been divorced twice, so that's probably cost him a bit.

Rough estimate his pension from MP salary is in the region of £1.4m value.

He's top 1% of 'earners' too (140k gross)

Before he became opposition leader he was asked if he would take the extra money. Being a good socialist he said said it would be up for debate.

When he became leader of the opposition he just trousered the cash. No debate, no discussion, just a fatter bank account courtesy of the taxpayer.

He calaims to give it away to charity but won’t be drawn on the details. He’s a proven lying prick so I say ‘bullst’

No. Inherited a pile (with more to come, unless it's already been gifted across), the pension accrual is staggering and he's been an ineffectual MP for a bloody long time.

He is nothing like the image he portrays of himself. It's as much a front as JRM's Elizabethan mannerisms.

No, just using the standard 20x pension valuation based on his income and years of service for an MP. As I said rough! Could very well be a fair bit more, it’s one of the few HMG schemes you can transfer out of, and many DB schemes have recently been getting transfer value multiples of 30 or 40! I didn’t take into account the LoO piece, not sure what he gets paid in addition to MP?

MP and leader gives him £137,000 a year.

Yeah, I meant that as well in him being part of the 1%.

His wife may do OK as well, owns some sort of coffee company, some interesting articles online about it!

The part about the underpaid workers in Mexico caught my eye.

Just like the Labour faithful employed on "zero hours contracts" whilst earning "below the living wage"...

The vote in 2016 was the first referendum the citizens of the UK have ever been given, on whether or not the citizens of the UK wanted the UK to be a member of the EU. If there was another referendum in 2016 it looks as though I missed that one too!

It was the 2nd. The 1st was in 1975.

That was for the EEC - then just a trading block, not a political union with sovereignty controls.
