Jeremy Corbyn said that he did not know how he would vote in a second referendum on Brexit.

The Labor leader, who has been repeatedly accused of being a Eurosceptic in the closet, also said he did not read all the provisions of Theresa May's draft Brexit deal.

In an interview with Sophy Ridge of Sky News, Corbyn was questioned about whether he would vote or not to remain in the referendum. He said, "Well, I do not know how I will vote, what the options would be at that time.

"But I wanted us to stay in the EU, that was my vote in this referendum."

He also stressed that Labor "could not stop" Brexit because they did not have votes in Parliament.

He said: "From then on, the arithmetic in Parliament is such that Brexit was triggered, Article 50. We voted for Article 50 in order to respect the referendum.

"Der Spiegel asked me this question and what I said was that we could not stop it because we did not have the right to vote in parliament to do it."
