Labour’s plans for Brexit are at the heart of the general election campaign debate after Boris Johnson issued Jeremy Corbyn with a challenge to spell them out.

The Labour leader says that if he is elected on 12 December, he will negotiate a “sensible” new deal within the next three months before putting it to the British public in a referendum after six months.

But crucially, he refuses to say which side Labour would campaign on in any referendum next summer.
