  • Today was meant to be Super Saturday where parliament

  • was finally going to make its mind up about whether to pass

  • Boris Johnson's Brexit deal.

  • But instead they've kicked the can down the road once again.

  • Order.

  • The ayes to the right, 322.

  • The noes to the left, 306.

  • People's vote.

  • People's vote.

  • Meanwhile here in Parliament Square thousands

  • have turned out to protest against Brexit.

  • And they really want a second referendum.

  • But are they getting any closer to achieving their aim?

  • Now, I will tell our friends and colleagues in the EU

  • exactly what I have told everyone in the last 88 days

  • that I've served as prime minister,

  • that further delay would be bad for this country,

  • bad for our European Union, and bad for democracy.

  • Tell me, why did you come on this march today?

  • Because I'm extremely angry, to be honest.

  • I think the government...

  • I'm very upset with all the lies that

  • have been told to the people, how people

  • have been conned in my view.

  • And I can see what the country's coming to.

  • And I fear for my future and the country.

  • There's something that we do in medicine.

  • It's informed consent.

  • We have not been informed to give consent.

  • And that's why we all believe strongly

  • there should be another vote.

  • I can see it's the only way out.

  • That there is just such division in the country.

  • As a remainer, I would respect another referendum,

  • even if it was to leave.

  • First time round, it just was on the basis of a lie.

  • You can't accept that first referendum.

  • We can stop Brexit.

  • And we can get on with fixing the problem.

  • We're just hoping that we can do something

  • to make this government see that we

  • don't believe it is the will of the people

  • to take us out of Europe.

  • Personally, I voted to leave.

  • But I know so much more now after three years of debate

  • than I did when I voted to leave.

  • What changed your mind then?

  • I'm not necessarily saying that I've changed my mind.

  • But what I'm definitely want is it to go back to the people.

  • Shame on you.

  • Shame on you.

  • Shame on you.

  • It's clear from today's march that Britain

  • has a very strong pro-EU movement, a movement, in fact,

  • that was bigger and more powerful than anything

  • that existed while it was an EU member for four decades.

  • But the crucial question for all these people

  • here is, how are they going to get that referendum?

  • They might want it.

  • They might feel more optimistic about it.

  • But the vote in parliament showed there is still

  • no clear way of getting it.

  • And if Boris Johnson is successful in getting

  • his Brexit deal through next week,

  • then these people here might still

  • end up a little disappointed.
