A chance to snatch some of the arguments away from Ukip, where they have been thrashed about with xenophobia for to long

But I fear with Benn and Crow dead the debate will be a watered-down affair.

Now they're supporting a bill to give everyone a choice.
Just sad that Tony Benn didn't live to participate in the debate.

They ain't supporting shit. For literally years they've been saying that the British public is far too stupid to have any say on something so very important and that they know best and we should jolly well do as we're told. Their line has consistently been that the EU is marvellous and anyone that says otherwise is a swivel eyed loon and a racist. Now that people are going to have their say whether Labour like it or not, they've decided that it's OK for people to have their say. As long as they say the right thing. Having just lost a general election in some style, even they know that suggesting people shouldn't be allowed to vote is not the best idea. Anyway, anti-EU sentiment is massively tied up with the Labour attitude I described in my second sentence. There's no way we'll get a referendum result that says out. The out lobby will be lucky to get 35% or more.

In the interview, it came across more as ditching a policy that would now have no effect one way or the other, because the other guys won. But yes, it may have the effect of letting the Labour eurosceptics speak their minds.

This is more them recognising a popular policy and seeing no political gain in being seen to block it.
