Corbyn: We’ll back calls for second Brexit referendum

Irish fears of a no-deal Brexit are receding after the British Labour Party said it will back calls for a second referendum and Prime Minister Theresa May faced growing demands to delay next month’s EU-UK divorce deadline.

European Council president Donald Tusk confirmed that Ms May has for the first time formally raised the prospect of a delay, leading Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to predict there will be either a deal or a new deadline by March 29.
