On the Marr show this morning, Jeremy Corbyn was asked – and refused to say – five times whether he would campaign for Leave or Remain in a second referendum.
Referring to himself in the third person, Corbyn said the only thing Corbyn could reveal was that we would have a close trading relationship with the EU.
Mr S. says that Mr S. thinks this is a bit of a cop out.
Here is a clip of part of the discussion:
