PANICKED Jeremy Corbyn today suggested that Labour WILL back a second referendum in his latest Brexit flip-flop.

The leftie leader said there should be a "public vote" on any deal agreed by Parliament.

His U-turn comes after Labour slipped to third place in the polls with Remainers abandoning the party in favour of pro-EU rivals.

The party has previously said it would support a second referendum in order to stop No Deal or a bad Tory deal.

But now Mr Corbyn has suggested he'll back a so-called people's vote on any deal at all.

The Labour leader told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "I want us to get a good deal and then have a decision of the public after that.

"If we can get that through Parliament, the proposals we've put, then I think it would be reasonable to have a public vote to decide on that in the future."

Asked if that means he definitely supports a second referendum, Mr Corbyn replied: "We would want a vote to decide what the future would be - so yes."

He also suggested he could back continued free movement of people in another U-turn.

Labour has tried to appeal to both sides by sitting on the fence over Brexit.

The party has been sliding in the polls - some recent surveys show it in third place behind the Brexit Party and the Lib Dems ahead of Thursday's European elections.
