LONDON: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson pressed opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Tuesday to tell voters in next month's election whether he backs leaving the EU.

But Corbyn refuses to say whether he would then campaign for his own deal. Most top members in the party oppose Brexit and have said they would campaign to remain in the bloc. "Now the time has come for you to come clean," Johnson told Corbyn in an a letter released by his office."Do you believe the results of the 2016 referendum should be respected and the UK should leave the EU?" Johnson asked.Labour's Brexit spokesman Keir Sarmer told BBC radio that letting Britons decide what to do about Brexit was a"practical way to break the impasse".Starmer himself is one of the senior Labour members opposed to Brexit.

The anti-Brexit Liberal Democrats came in second in European Parliament polls in May that Britain was forced to take part in because of Brexit delays.Her party is currently running in third place with around around 18 per cent of the vote.
