Then campaign against it in a referendum, that is itself an affront to the last one and those who voted in it, and then decide whether to remain, or go for a neverending series of extensions while campaigning for a further people's vote, depending on the result of that 2nd referendum ?
It is a legitimate question from Boris. The Labour position is deliberately evasive and untruthful. Corbyn and the Labour Party ought to be clear to the public, but unfortunately they are hiding behind a fudge.
Johnson does irony: // "You want to throw out the great new deal we have reached with our European friends //.
No one considers the current deal ‘Great’ but many reluctantly support it as better than ‘no deal’.

Keir Starmer was very clear on the R4 Today programme this morning about Labour's policy - words to the effect of "Should Labour win the election I will negotiate a great new deal with the EU within 3 monhs, then I will come back and put it to the public in a referendum, and then I will campaign against that deal and for Remain."
Yes I think Labour’s policy is perfectly clear
Where it falls down is what happens when any deal is agreed. Which side then is Labour on?
However, arguably this is the same situation that Cameron’s Tory party was in when Cameron promised to renegotiate the UK’s terms of membership with the EU and put them to a referendum.
The real difficulty for Labour really is this:
The Tories promise to “get Brexit done” (rather a con IMO but nonetheless a simple message). The Lib Dems promise to “do for Brexit”.
But Labour can only promise more negotiations and another vote.
They may be a sensible and honourable approach but is it going to go down well with people who are sick to death of the whole thing?
