British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn will push ahead with Brexit and seek to renegotiate the terms if he wins a snap election next year, he said Saturday, in a blow to party supporters who want a second referendum.
Like much of Britain, Corbyn's Labour Party is deeply divided over Brexit, with some senior lawmakers leading calls for a fresh vote and others representing areas that recorded the highest support for leaving the European Union in the 2016 plebiscite.
Corbyn, a Socialist with little passion for the EU, has been reluctant to support a second referendum, or People's Vote, but with less than 100 days to go until Brexit the clamor is growing for either a delay or a second vote to prevent Britain leaving without a deal.
