The Labour leader insisted a second Brexit referendum would not be "disastrous" but said there should be something different for the public to vote on. Mr Corbyn has been criticised by Labour members and MPs who say Labour should come off the fence and back a second poll. The Opposition leader reiterated a second referendum should be an option on the table to respond to what emerges from Parliament, although added MPs have yet to reach agreement. His comments were immediately seized upon by Labour remainers as a sign that the party is moving towards a clearer backing for a second referendum. Mr Corbyn said as it stood Labour would not be supporting it.
