EX-Labour leader Ed Miliband exposed the partys panic in its northern heartlands in a leaflet to constituents claiming he had voted for a Brexit deal nine times.

This is despite him being a prominent campaigner for a second EU referendum and repeatedly refusing to back one in five years in charge.

Critics also pointed out he voted against Theresa Mays three Brexit deals and Boris Johnsons.

He told Doncaster North constituents: We need to sort Brexit. Ive voted nine times in Parliament for a deal to do that.

The Tories accused him of lying in a desperate bid to cling on to his seat.

Four neighbouring Labour-held seats are odds-on to be lost to the Tories, according to YouGovs seat projection.

 

Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay said: Its clear what Labours new strategy is in Leave voting constituencies lie.

People like Ed Miliband are destroying trust in democracy by saying they accept the result of democratic votes then working to overturn them.

Mr Milibands spokesman said: Ed has voted nine times for a customs union, single market and other Labour proposals for a Brexit deal.
