British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has revealed for the first time that he will remain neutral in the second Brexit referendum that he has vowed to hold if he becomes prime minister next month.
"I will adopt a neutral stance so I can credibly carry out the result," he told a special edition of the BBC's Question Time programme on Friday.
Labour plans to renegotiate the deal agreed between the current Conservative government and the European Union, and then put it to another vote, with remaining in the EU being the other option.
"This will be a trade deal with Europe, or remaining in the EU," he added. "That will be the choice that we put before the British public within six months."
