evidence: Nine months ago I was part of a group of young people who started a political campaign. We wanted our voices to be heard on Brexit. We’ve now built a national movement across campuses, schools, towns and cities. [...] This is not only Labour ducking its duty, it is poor politics. After all, it was my generation that propelled Corbyn to the brink of Downing Street last year. And my generation will turn its back on him if he betrays us now. One poll last week shows Labour’s support among young people would plummet from 60% to 33% if it helps enable Brexit. I am part of a generation that has experimented with political engagement in a way that most young people have not for 30 years or more. But what we’re witnessing from our political leaders makes me want to recoil once more. In October 700,000 people – many of them young – marched peacefully through the streets of London calling for the public to be given the final say on Brexit. We have since taken a bus to every corner of the country, with the statistic that 77% of young people don’t want Brexit emblazoned on the side. We’ve been to hundreds of schools and have heard the same messages time and again: we are scared about how Brexit will affect our futures; many of us did not have a say in the initial vote; and if we were given a chance to make our voices heard we would vote to stay in Europe.
