Keir Starmer says he would campaign and vote for Remain if there was a second referendum.

Labour is calling for a general election to end the Brexit impasse.

The party's policy, as decided at their conference in September, is that "all options are on the table" if they can't win a no confidence motion in the government.

That includes a second referendum.

The vast majority of Labour members support having a second poll, Labour voters largely back Remain but a majority of Labour seats voted to Leave.

In recent weeks the party's leadership has been at pains to stress that a second poll is just one option and that all currently carry equal weight.

But today Mr Starmer indicated that Labour should push for one to break the Brexit deadlock - at the same time as trying to secure a general election.

It is currently unclear what the party's Brexit policy would be if an election was called.

Sir Keir said: “Our manifesto will build on the last manifesto but also take account of the conference policy and then go through a process.

“That is how we will arrive at a decision at to what’s in our manifesto.”

He told BBC1’s The Andrew Marr Show that if there was another EU referendum, “I will campaign for In and I will vote for In.”

Lib Dem Brexit spokesman Tom Brake said: “It is clear that Labour’s policy on Brexit is no closer to getting any clearer.

“After a week in which the Conservative Government’s deal was destroyed in an historic parliamentary defeat, it is a dereliction of duty for the Opposition to continue without an alternative plan.”
