Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab was facing questions from MPs on the Commons European Scrutiny Committee alongside the PM’s Europe adviser, Olly Robbins, on Wednesday afternoon. Jeremy Corbyn refused to be drawn on the question of a public vote on Britain's withdrawal from the EU after being challenged by Theresa May to “stand up and rule out a second referendum”. The Labour leader said he would not back such an option in any future referendum but added that it was important for Britain to remain part of Europe if there is no other way forward. Corbyn is coming under intense pressure from People’s Vote campaigners to commit to a second referendum, with Labour refusing to offer a clear position on the issue.
