John McDonnell has said.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme his party’s plans are a “traditional British compromise”, and said: “We believe a deal like this, put before Parliament again, could secure a majority and what you’re seeing here is, yes, parliament asserting control, and the PM has to accept that the only way she’ll get something through parliament is a compromise like this.”
A second referendum is still on the table if Ms May does not approve the suggested deal or parliament cannot reach an agreement, he said.
Mr McDonnell said Labour’s deal would command a “secure” majority.
He said: “If Theresa May said ‘I’ll sign up to Labour’s deal’ and we went to Parliament, I think we would have a secure parliamentary majority.
“But we’re at that stage now where we’re saying very clearly to everybody that people have looked over the edge of a no-deal Brexit and it could be catastrophic for our economy.”
The shadow chancellor added: “In the national interest we have got to come together to secure a compromise, and then if we can’t do that, well yes, we have to go back to the people.”
