Labour faced a renewed Brexit shambles today as the party admitted it would lose tonight's no confidence vote in the Government but insisted it will still resist back a second referendum.
John McDonnell insisted today Labour will keep trying to force a general election and could swerve backing a second referendum for 'weeks'.
The shadow chancellor's hesitation came despite 71 Labour MPs going public with a demand for the policy shift as soon as today if Theresa May wins later.
Around 45 Labour MPs gathered outside Parliament this morning to launch their new campaign, holding a banner reading: 'Labour MPs, MEPs, conference and members agree - The people should have the final say.'
Mr McDonnell said Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn would follow the plan set out at the party conference in September.
He said under that plan 'we will keep the option on the table of another public vote' but warned Mr Corbyn still believed he could pursue his own Brexit ideas.
Mr McDonnell appeared to hint on Today programme tonight's vote would be the only motion of no confidence - but insisted later to Talk Radio Labour could have another go.

Mr Corbyn's closest ally demanded the Prime Minister open talks with the Labour leadership on how she can get a deal past MPs.
Following her humiliation in the Commons last night, Mrs May said she would discuss her deal with 'senior' MPs on the Opposition benches to find a way forward.
But she has stopped short of promising direct talks with Mr Corbyn.
Mr McDonnell accepted today Labour would fail in its no confidence motion at 7pm tonight but warned Mrs May the campaign would not stop.
He told the Today programme: 'We have not had an approach from the Prime Minister to Jeremy Corbyn. That is the first step.'
He added: 'We will seek a general election. If there is an impasse we will keep the option of another public vote.
'We will respect that over the coming weeks.'

Mr McDonnell accused Mrs May of placing 'conditions' on cross party talks before they had even begun by insisting her deal was still the only basis for discussion.
Mrs May's deal was crushed by an historic 230 votes in the Commons last night.
Labour MP David Lammy said that if Mrs May survives the vote of confidence, Mr Corbyn should come out in support of a second referendum.
He suggested that close to 100 Labour MPs were prepared to back such a move.
'At that point he should then follow the overwhelming feeling of the party and party members, which is to arrive in a place where we put this back to the British people in a people's vote,' he told the BBC Radio 4 Today .
'If he vacillates and sits on the fence, I'm afraid he is going to get splinters in places he doesn't want.
'There is is definitely momentum with Members of Parliament who now see that this is stuck in our Parliament and think he should put it back to the British people.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
