A parliamentary vote could put an end to the Brexit - which one MP has said was "an advisory, non-binding referendum".

David Lammy, the MP for Tottenham, made an impassioned plea as a petition for a second referendum became the most popular in parliamentary history.

He Tweeted: "Wake up. We do not have to do this. We can stop this madness through a vote in Parliament. Our sovereign Parliament needs to vote on whether we should exit the EU.
If the politicians turn their backs on the people. What next?
