One of the UK's largest unions has joined the calls for a public vote on the final Brexit deal.
GMB - which represents more than 600,000 workers in the public and private sectors - has said that people have the right to decide "what sort of Brexit is the right Brexit".
The union's general secretary Tim Roache explained: "Sitting on the side lines watching the mess this government is making of Brexit is infuriating, because there is so much at stake.
"GMB respects the results of the referendum, but how we leave the EU is as important as the decision to leave in the first place."
He added: "The promises that were made during the referendum campaign are simply not the reality we are facing.
"GMB members in manufacturing, ports, chemicals, energy, retail, public services - across the entire economy - are facing uncertainty and a government more preoccupied with internal divisions than working people's livelihoods."

The union has become one of the largest organisations to back a second referendum, joining a number of politicians from both the Conservative and Labour parties to have put forward the idea.
Several activist groups have been set up to back a second vote, with celebrities such as Patrick Stewart and Gary Lineker among those supporting the campaign.
At the weekend, British Prime Minister Theresa May firmly rejected calls for a people's vote - suggesting it be "would be a gross betrayal of our democracy".
Meanwhile, the governor of the Bank of England has indicated he may be willing to extend his term in office to support Brexit efforts.
Mark Carney told MPs today: "Even though I have already agreed to extend my time to support a smooth Brexit, I am willing to do whatever else I can in order to promote both a smooth Brexit and an effective transition at the Bank of England."
He's currently due to leave his post in June 2019 - only three months after Brexit - but confirmed he's in talks with the government about an extension.
