• does that mean that if that there is a general election then all bets are off in respect of any 2nd referendum / confirmatory vote? makes sense i suppose.

    Yes - this suggest labours support for a confirmation vote is only in respect of a tory brexit and not a labour brexit (or any other brexit after a GE)

    makes sense i suppose.

    Does it? i think its mad - you either support putting it back to the people or you don't. A softer Brexit is many ways more pointless than a hard Brexit.

  • i meant that it makes sense that the opportunity for democratic expression in a general election would be preferable in one sense to a 2nd referendum as it avoids the criticism of "asking as many time as it takes to get an answer you like" -
    my personal preference would be for a discrete vote on brexit since it would allow the next general election to be decided on other important issues
