Labour Brexit policy explained: EU election manifesto pledge and why it's a row


(Image: PA)Labour has agreed its Brexit manifesto pledge for the European Parliament elections on May 23. The manifesto will say Labour backs "the option of" a second referendum on Brexit - but only in certain circumstances. These are if Labour can't get a general election; or can't get the "necessary changes" to Theresa May ’s Brexit deal. But Labour MP Bridget Phillipson of People’s Vote said Labour has done the “bare minimum” with a “mealy-mouthed” manifesto pledge. Remain parties will say Labour is backing Brexit and Brexit parties will say the party is moving towards a second referendum.
