Theresa May says there could be a THIRD Brexit referendum if she gives in to MPs and gives them a second

THERESA May has warned there could be a THIRD Brexit referendum if she gives in to MPs and hands the people a second vote.

The Prime Minister said that if she decided to give the decision back to the people now, then MPs would be crying out for yet another one in future.

She said that some people would never be completely happy with the result and would always fight to overturn it.

It came as she revealed she would postpone her vote on the Brexit deal in the face of a humiliating defeat.

She will now fly around Europe to try and beg the EU to make tweaks to the deal or "assurances" on the hated Northern Irish backstop.

On a second referendum Mrs May said: "Does she honestly think that If we were to have another referendum and it came out with a different result, people wouldn't say we should have a third referendum to find out what the result was?"

And she added: "I wonder if it came out with the same result, she would still be asking for another vote."

Several MPs used her Commons appearance to demand a so-called 'People's Vote' on another deal.

But Mrs May slapped them down, saying she genuinely believed that the people's first say should be respected and Brexit MUST be delivered.
