Question Time audience laughs at Labour Brexit stance - 'More positions than Kama Sutra'
LABOUR’s Brexit policy was ferociously mocked last night on BBC Question Time, with the audience laughing after one of the party’s former advisors said it had taken “more positions than the Karma Sutra” on the subject.
Question Time: Labour’s Brexit stance MOCKED by pundit
A major row has been taking place within Labour over whether to back a second Brexit referendum. Jeremy Corbyn is under fierce pressure to support a second public vote. Former Ed Miliband advisor Ayesha Hazarika called for another referendum with Labour supporting ‘Remain’ on Question Time.
She said: “I have been dismayed as a Labour Party member for so many years watching the Labour Party become Vicky Pollard.
‘It’s ridiculous we’ve had more positions than the Kama Sutra.”
Vicky Pollard was a character on the BBC sitcom Little Britain famous for being indecisive.
A number of senior figures, including Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell and Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott, are believed to be pushing for a second vote.

Replying to a Labour Party supporter on Twitter yesterday Ms Abbott commented: “Like you I have supported Labour’s Brexit strategy so far.
“But like you I am beginning to worry”.
Ms Hazarika argued the public have have been radicalised by the Brexit debate and Labour needs to take a firm position.
She commented: “The longer Theresa May dithered over Brexit and caused delay both sides hardened their positions.

“The choice is back to the binary, you’re either going for a no-deal Brexit now or its about revoking Article 50.”
However other senior Labour figures have been urging the party to respect the referendum.
Speaking on BBC Question Time Caroline Flint said: “If you’re going to have a second referendum I don’t think it should be about whether we remain.
“I think it should be on the basis of deal or no deal because the decision to leave has actually been made.”
