Labour is considering making a pledge that would give voters the chance to reject any Brexit deal negotiated by a future government.
Senior party figures are understood to be pushing Jeremy Corbyn to include a promise for a so-called second referendum in Labour’s manifesto. They hope the plan would firm up Labour support among former Remain voters, while making clear that they will not seek to stop or reverse Brexit.
The proposal is yet to be signed off by either the leader or Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary. He is understood to have reservations about the plan, fearing that it would become meaningless in the face of any transition arrangement that is negotiated. In those circumstances Britain would have already left the EU before
