Andrew Neil questioned Lisa Nandy MP over her Brexit opinion after she voted against former Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal three times before saying it should be revived. Mr Neil asked: “Is the Johnson deal worse than the May deal?” Speaking on BBC 2’s Andrew Neil show, Ms Nandy: “It’s irrelevant what Labour things of the Johnson deal because quite frankly he has a majority and we don’t have the means to decide.”

Mr Neil pressed: “But in your view since you voted against the May deal three times then you said the May deal should be revived.

“Many people thought you were all over the place on this.”

Ms Nandy replied: “Pay attention is all I’m asking people to do.”

The BBC host interjected: “I am paying attention. You actually flirted with voting for the May deal after having voted against it three times.”

Despite Ms Nandy denying the claims, Mr Neil read out her quote to Sky News: “reviving the May deal is the only way to avoid no deal Brexit.”

She continued: “There wasn’t a single thing about my position that changed in that time.

“In January Theresa May finally agreed to negotiate with Labour. I told her at the time if she brought a bill before Parliament that gave a role for Parliament in the next stages of the negotiations, I would vote for it.

“I was consistent in that all the way through and has she brought that bill, I told my constituents I would vote for it.”
