Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn won backing for his wait-and-see policy on Brexit after the opposition party's conference voted to reject a plan to "energetically campaign" to stay in the European Union.
After two days in which the gathering in Brighton, southeast England, was overshadowed by infighting between senior politicians, there were angry scenes as three votes on Brexit went in Corbyn's favor.
Labour is now committed to fighting a general election, renegotiating a Brexit deal with the European Union and then holding a referendum to allow voters to support that deal or opt to remain in the bloc. Labour will only decide which side to support in that vote once the terms of the deal are known.
