UK Labour won't offer second Brexit vote

UK Labour has ruled out offering a second chance of voting on Brexit.

Jeremy Corbyn has ruled out backing a second referendum on the final Brexit deal after suggestions Labour could include the policy in their general election manifesto.

A spokesman for the Labour leader said on Thursday: "A second referendum is not our policy and it won't be in our manifesto".

It comes after shadow chancellor John McDonnell on Wednesday said the government should "put the deal to Parliament and possibly to the country overall" and Corbyn dodged a question on the issue in his first keynote speech of the campaign.
