"Many Photos" - In their own words, read how MPs in the House of Hypocrites swore to honour Brexit and then U-turned

They swore if we voted to leave that Brexit would mean Brexit, then vowed to honour the result. 

Here, ANDREW PIERCE exposes how MPs and grandees have U-turned... starting with the politician who outlawed ‘No Deal’ – and paraded the royal assent on Twitter.

Doesn’t it make you proud!

Yvette Cooper, Labour MP for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford

THEN: 'I will not vote to block Brexit' – general election literature, 2017

NOW: 'My amendment is a vote against the chaos of a No Deal Brexit' – February 2019

Yvette Cooper promised her constituents she would not block Brexit. Now she has changed her mind

What she paraded online: Cooper showed off a copy of the royal assent on Twitter this week

Hilary Benn, Labour MP for Leeds Central

THEN: 'You vote to Leave. We are out. We are going' – Before the Brexit referendum in June, 2016

NOW: 'It is now clear that... leaving the EU without an agreement would be a disaster. If it turns out that there is no alternative deal that can win a majority in the Commons, then... the only way we will resolve this is to go back to the people' – December 17, 2018

Hilary Benn told voters the UK would be leaving the EU, but now he describes a no deal Brexit as 'a disaster'

Anna Soubry, Independent Group MP for Broxtowe

THEN: 'We are leaving the EU and must now get a good deal... Many people voted Leave for genuine and respected reasons. We have to respect the result.' – After referendum in June, 2016

NOW: 'We have to plan for a People's Vote. The current deal we have with the EU is the best deal' – February 2019

Anna Soubry said it was imperative MPs respected the referendum result, but now she is at the forefront of the People's Vote campaign

Sir Keir Starmer, Labour MP for Holborn and St Pancras

THEN: 'We all have to accept and respect the referendum outcome. I campaigned to stay in the EU. I would have expected the result to be honoured if we had won it' – After the 2016 referendum

NOW: 'A public vote ought to be between the option of a credible Leave deal; and Remain' – March 2019

Keir Starmer, Labour's Shadow Brexit Secretary, told Brexiters what they wanted to hear but he is now pushing for a second referendum with the option to remain 

Chuka Umunna, Independent Group MP for Streatham

THEN: 'We will Leave if Leave wins even by one vote' – on the eve of the 2016 referendum

NOW: 'A People's Vote is our final chance to get it right for generations to come' – October 2018

Chuka Umunna said even the narrowest of victories should be honoured - before quitting the Labour party and demanding a second vote

Sir Vince Cable, Lib Dem leader and MP for Twickenham

THEN: 'The public have voted and it's seriously disrespectful and politically utterly counter-productive to say: 'Sorry guys, you've got it wrong. We are going to try again' – After the 2016 Brexit vote

NOW: 'We are a Remain country now with 60 per cent wanting to stop the Brexit mess' – People's Vote rally, March 2019

Sarah Wollaston, Independent Group MP for Totnes

THEN: 'We must accept the [Brexit] result.' She added: 'A second referendum... is a direct incentive for us to get the worst possible deal. We should not be going back and saying we don't accept the result' – During 2017 election

NOW: 'I don't think we have anything to fear from a second referendum now. It's not about blocking Brexit; it's about saying to people: I think you have the right to give informed consent' – August 20, 2018

Sarah Wollaston told voters during her election campaign that a second referendum was a bad idea - now she says we have 'nothing to fear' from it

Heidi Allen, Independent Group MP for South Cambridgeshire

THEN: 'We must respect the democratic outcome of the referendum and work positively together to ensure we make Brexit a success' – 2017 election

Heidi Allen once insisted the Brexit result would be honoured, until changing her mind and claiming there is no other option but to ask the public to vote again

Dominic Grieve, Tory MP for Beaconsfield

THEN: 'What is clear to me is that the decision of electorate in the referendum must be respected and I should support a reasoned process to give effect to it,' – 2017 election literature

NOW: 'I believe that a further public consultation through a referendum offers the best way forward' – january 2019

Dominic Grieve claimed he was backing efforts to leave the EU but is now pushing for a second referendum

Philip Hammond, Chancellor and Tory MP for Runnymede and Weybridge

THEN: 'We are leaving the EU. Because we are leaving the EU, we leave the single market, and by the way, we are leaving the customs union' – June 2017

NOW: 'A second referendum is now a perfectly credible proposition that deserves to be tested in Parliament' – last week on ITV's Peston Show

NOW: 'When I surmised there was a real possibility the Prime Minister... was going to end up taking us out without a deal... I started to work with many colleagues on both sides of the House to try to find a solution.' – March 2019, as co-author of amendment that took power in Commons away from government
