Corbyn sets out Brexit policy as Lib Dems launch election campaign

Jeremy Corbyn has set out Labour’s plans on Brexit – claiming the party would ‘get it sorted’ within six months of winning power.

Mr Corbyn promised to negotiate a better exit deal – and put it to the public in another referendum next summer – a plan dismissed by the Tories as a recipe for “paralysing uncertainty”.

The Liberal Democrats also launched their general election campaign, as Jo Swinson declared she would be a better Prime Minister than either of her two main party rivals.
