JEREMY Corbyn is facing a red revolt over Brexit as more than 100 wannabe Labour MPs pledge to back Remain.
The candidates are willing to defy their boss if there is a second vote on our EU divorce – even if the party backs Leave.
Code –
RED REVOLT
One hundred and twelve hopefuls, including dozens who have previously been MPs, are on the list, the Daily Mail reports.
Ex-ministers like Margaret Beckett, Maria Eagle and Ben Bradshaw, plus recent Speaker candidate Chris Bryant are among the names.
While more junior former MPs including Tulip Siddiq and Rosie Duffield are also on the list.
Ealing candidate Rupa Huq tweeted the anti-Brexit pledge by activist group, Remain Labour last night.
It says: Labour is committed to a confirmatory referendum, to give you a final say on Brexit.
If elected as your Labour MP, I pledge to campaign to Remain in the EU.
Mr Corbyn, a life-long Euro-sceptic, has faced continued criticism for his partys muddled Brexit policy.
If he reaches No10, Mr Corbyn plans broker a credible deal with Brussels and versus remaining in the EU.
EU WHAT JEZ?
Under the Leave option, the leftie-boss says he will spend months negotiating a new deal for the UK to stay an EU customs union and retain a close single market relationship.
He will then put both options back to the public with a second referendum – but has yet to say how the party would campaign.
Andrew Lewin, founder of Remain Labour, said: ‘Remain voters want to vote for the Labour Party with confidence at this election.
‘Our pledge will help candidates in England, Scotland and Wales to underline that the Labour Party is the strongest Remain Alliance in the country.’
The move from the 112 hopefuls comes after a Labour candidate vowed to back a Remain campaign.
Dr Rosena Allin-Khan hit the campaign trail in Tooting with placards saying Vote Rosena, vote Remain’.
She posted on Twitter: Out on the campaign trail with an amazing @tootinglabour team!
Our new correx boards arrived today, my message is clear: Vote Rosena, Vote Remain!
