Labour's Jeremy Corbyn says he wants a UK election
- Country:
- United Kingdom
Britain's opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Monday he wanted an election and that his party would stop a no-deal Brexit. "We must come together to stop no-deal - this week could be our last chance," Corbyn said in a speech in Salford, northern England. "Then we need a general election.
"In that election, Labour will give people the chance to take back control and have the final say in a public vote with credible options on both sides including the option to remain," Corbyn said. When asked whether Labour really wanted a general election, he said: "We want a general election."
"The vote of no confidence is very much there on the table," Corbyn said. "If it's a no-deal then we would vote to remain, if it's any other deal then our party's democratic processes will decide what position we take."
