Corbyn faces grassroots push for Labour to back second Brexit referendum

Must read

Jeremy Corbyn is facing grassroots pressure for Labour to come out firmly in favor of a second Brexit referendum.

The campaign group Another Europe is Possible has said that unless Labour opposes EU withdrawal, it will lose millions of votes.

The group said that 201 constituency Labour parties are set to debate a motion calling for a stronger line against Brexit by the end of this month.

As well as calling for opposition to EU withdrawal and a new referendum, the Another Europe is Possible-drafted motion urges a “principled stand in defense of free movement and for democratization of European institutions”.

The move comes ahead of a meeting of the Labour Party’s International Policy Commission on Wednesday, which is set to discuss Brexit.

A recent study of the attitudes of more than 1,000 Labour members found that 72% want Mr Corbyn to throw his weight behind a new so-called People’s Vote on EU withdrawal.

Mr Corbyn has said that Labour’s preferred option to deal with the Brexit situation is to force a general election, but the Labour leader has insisted that all options remain on the table.
