Labour Party getting closer to support second Brexit referendum: Tom Watson

Britain's opposition Labour Party is getting closer to supporting a second Brexit referendum, its deputy leader Tom Watson told BBC TV on Sunday. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is under pressure from many of his lawmakers to explicitly support a second referendum when parliament gets an opportunity to vote on the next Brexit steps this week. So far he has only said that all options, including another public vote, should remain on the table.

Asked whether this would be the week Labour comes out in support of a second referendum, Watson said: "It might be ... We are getting closer to that point." "We are heading in that direction but there is still more play in the day's ahead," he said.
