Jeremy Corbyn – ‘I want a close relationship’ with the EU

The Labour leader was Andrew Marr’s chief guest of the day. Marr began by asking for Corbyn’s personal stance on Brexit, something which has proved highly elusive since the referendum result in 2016. Corbyn happily gave the Labour party’s position, but once again refused to be drawn on the issue:

AM: Do you want this country to leave the EU or not?

JC: We’re going to put that choice to the British people, and they will make that decision… I want a close relationship with the EU in the future.
