Jeremy Corbyn has insisted a second Brexit referendum would not be "disastrous", but suggested that the British Parliament must offer something to enable such a vote. Mr Corbyn was repeatedly pressed for clarity over Labour's stance on Brexit ahead of Thursday's European elections, with a series of conflicting views from shadow cabinet ministers presented to him. 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.
