LONDON - Opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn will on Thursday promise Britain a radical new political agenda and accuse Prime Minister Boris Johnson of dragging Queen Elizabeth into the country’s looming general election.
Both the ruling Conservatives and Labour want an early election, but Corbyn says he will not agree to one until Johnson has ruled out the possibility that Britain leaves the EU without a deal. The speech will bring together pledges from his party’s recent conference, including a second Brexit referendum and a ban on fracking. Labour has also promised to renationalize rail, energy and water industries and launch a huge infrastructure spending program.
The Sun newspaper reported on Wednesday, without citing sources, that Labour will back a general election on Nov. 26 if Johnson fails in his bid to deliver Brexit by the end of this month.
