Jeremy Corbyn has just done a brief clip to cameras on the European election results.
He says Labour is “consulting all our members, and all our affiliates and listening to the views of MPs and members of the shadow cabinet” after the results.
“The country is very divided and the country has to come together. Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party are only offering a no-deal exit… there has to be an agreement with the European Union and there then has to be a public vote.”
“We had a very clear policy all along that will call for a general election and a referendum to decide on the future.”
Asked whether he would support an internal party ballot on the direction of the party’s policy, he replied: “What we’ll do is consult members and through the constituency parties and affiliated trade unions and bring the issue back to conference in September”.
“What we’ve tried to do is bring people together – whether they voted Leave or Remain.”
He adds that the priority at the moment is for this government to call for a general election, he says.
