Britain’s Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is set to back a second referendum on Brexit and it could be announced within days.

Reuters quotes the Mirror newspaper which cited senior figures of the party.

Corbyn, who has so far said the option of a second referendum should be kept on the table.

After being punished by voters in the European elections, Labour said a public vote was the way to reunite the country, but added this could also be a national election.

Corbyn himself on Monday had said that the British public should be asked again to give its verdict on Brexit, either through a general election or a second referendum.
