Jeremy Corbyn confirmed the Labour Party would back a new Brexit referendum if the choice offered to voters was "credible". However, the leader of the opposition failed to deny he would support leaving the European Union if given the change. Mr Corbyn admitted to having conflicting views of the bloc as he refused to provide Sky News host Sophy Ridge with a clear answer on how he would vote during a fresh referendum.

Despite having been asked whether his preference would be to call it quits with Brussels, Mr Corbyn insisted he wanted to maintain a "serious relationship" with the bloc – causing Ms Ridge to interrupt him to ask again: "That’s not what I asked.
"Do you want to leave the EU or not? Would you vote to remain?"
Mr Corbyn finally admitted his choice would depend on the question posed: "I know it’s not what you asked but I’m trying to say we want to have a relationship with the EU of the type I’ve set out and people would have a choice on that.
"I’ve had many criticisms of the EU, I recognise many of the values of the EU. I want it to see more accountable and democratic. That’s what I campaigned for in the referendum but at the end of the day, it’s about the trading relationship and the jobs that are so important.
