Opposition leader Corbyn calls for election to break Brexit impasse

Parliament is deadlocked over how to proceed with Brexit, Britain's biggest shift in foreign and trade policy in more than 40 years

British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn called on lawmakers on Thursday to help his Opposition party “break the deadlock” over Brexit and support his call for a motion of no confidence in the government to trigger an election.

Pledging to vote against Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal next week, Corbyn said only a Labour government could secure an accord with the European Union that would re-unite Britain, a move that would, he acknowledged, most probably require an extension of the Brexit talks with Brussels.
