UK Labour Party demands 2nd public Brexit vote

The opposition Labour Party's Brexit spokesman has re-emphasized his party's support for a second referendum on Britain's divorce deal with the European Union.

Keir Starmer told the BBC on Sunday that "whatever deal gets through, it should be subject to a referendum."

His comments come a day after Parliament forced Prime Minister Boris Johnson to seek an extension to the Oct. 31 deadline for Britain to leave the EU. That, in turn, led to the postponement Saturday of a vote on the Brexit deal that Johnson agreed upon with EU leaders on Thursday.

Starmer says what Labour is seeking now is that "this deal in particular but any deal is put up against remain in a referendum."

Hundreds of thousands of people marched through London on Saturday demanding a "people's vote" on Brexit.
