LONDON (Reuters) – Britains opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Sunday that a second Brexit referendum was an option for the future rather than today.

Labour has said it will not support Prime Minister Theresa Mays Brexit agreement in an upcoming vote in parliament, and some in the party have backed calls for a referendum on the deal.

“Its an option for the future, but its not an option for today, because if we had a referendum tomorrow, whats it going to be on? Whats the question going to be?” Corbyn told Sky News.
