MPs pushing for a fresh Brexit referendum have changed their approach in recent weeks after it became clear that they did not have the numbers needed to win a majority in the Commons.

Now, rather than trying to force a second referendum instead of backing Theresa May’s deal, they believe the path to another public vote may involve doing exactly that.
