BRIGHTON, England - Britain’s opposition Labour Party will vote to decide its Brexit strategy on Monday, with leader Jeremy Corbyn heading for a showdown with his members over whether the party should back staying in the European Union.
Leftist Corbyn, an instinctive critic of the EU, has been under renewed pressure from party members and even some of his top team to unequivocally back remaining in the EU and their rebellion forced a vote between two options on Monday. Corbyn’s finance policy chief, John McDonnell, backed the Labour leader’s approach, and played down the idea that the party was divided.
Corbyn has been criticized over what some describe as a vague stance on Brexit, with some in his party saying the lack of clarity has driven away Labour supporters, lowering the likelihood of any election victory. Ally Jon Lansman, whose leftist Momentum movement was created to support Corbyn, urged Labour members “to vote with their conscience”, and the country’s biggest union, Unison, was planning to back the ‘remain’ stance because it was worried ambiguity could hurt the party’s election chances.
