Some pro-EU MPs are hoping the UK receives a poor Brexit trade deal so voters want to rejoin the European Union in a second referendum

REMAINERS are hatching a fresh plot to take Britain back into the EU in the mid-20s, it emerged last night.

Pro-EU MPs hope a poor post-Brexit trade deal with Brussels may open the way for a second referendum, reports the New Statesman.

They believe voters will be more likely to vote for EU membership after they see what our new trading relationship with Brussels looks like hoping its a failure.

Government insiders say a new UK-EU trade deal wont be ready until 2024.

Remainers believe voters could then be offered a choice between the new arrangement and rejoining the EU through rules set out under Article 49 of the Lisbon Treaty.

This is an alternative strategy to staging a premature referendum in 2019, sources explained.

A Labour MP told the current affairs magazine that campaigning for a second vote before a new trade deal is in place would simply be too risky because losing it would end any hope of reversing Brexit.
