Corbyn dodges Brexit question NINE times as Boris skewers ‘absurd' Labour plan in TV clash

BORIS JOHNSON tore into Jeremy Corbyn over his “absurd dither and delay” Brexit policy last night in a furious live television clash that ignited the General Election campaign. In their first head-to-head debate in the contest for the December 12 poll, the Prime Minister asked the Labour leader nine times to spell out whether he would support remaining in the EU or leaving the bloc if a second referendum is triggered – but failed to get an answer.

The Prime Minister said: “We don’t know on which side Mr Corbyn will campaign. Will he campaign for Leave or Remain?  Mr Corbyn is trying to conceal the void at the heart of their Brexit policy.” The Labour chief repeatedly said he would give voters “the final say” without specifying his own position. Their row over Brexit dominated barbed exchanges in front of a studio audience in Salford on the ITV Johnson v Corbyn programme.
