BRIGHTON, England - Britain’s opposition Labour Party will vote to decide its Brexit strategy on Monday, with leader Jeremy Corbyn heading for a showdown with his members over whether the party should back staying in the European Union.

With Prime Minister Boris Johnson insisting that Britain will leave the EU on an Oct. 31 deadline, Labour, like the ruling Conservatives, is struggling to agree strategy on Brexit, increasing the uncertainty over Britain’s biggest foreign and trade policy shift in more than 40 years. Corbyn’s finance policy chief, John McDonnell, backed the Labour leader’s approach of trying to win an election, to renegotiate a Brexit deal and then to hold a second referendum when lawmakers can campaign for whichever side they want.

According to a new opinion poll on Monday, more than half of voters who backed Britain’s opposition Labour Party at a 2017 election think it is now time for Corbyn to stand down, an opinion poll showed on Monday.
