Sadiq Khan calls on Labour to “unequivocally back Remain”

Khan wades into the Labour Brexit row, arguing that "staying neutral is not an option".

Sadiq Khan has called on the Labour party to campaign “unequivocally to stay and remain in the European union in all circumstances”.

Speaking at an event hosted by the New Statesman at the Labour party conference in Brighton today, the mayor of London said that “all Labour MPs should be whipped to campaign to Remain”, at odds with party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s current position of neutrality on the subject. It is the latest development in a building row in Labour over its Brexit position.
