Jeremy Corbyn has declared Labour will back a referendum on Brexit

Jeremy Corbyn has declared Labour will back a referendum on Brexit, ending a years-long power struggle within the party.

The Labour leader threw his support behind the campaign for a national poll after his own plan to renegotiate a Brexit deal was rejected by MPs.

He declared the party would “continue to push for the other available options” to prevent a no-deal divorce with the European Union.

The announcement marks a significant shift in Labour’s strategy.

Mr Corbyn played down the campaign for a “People’s Vote” in an exclusive interview with Sky News last November.
