JEREMY Corbyn today admitted he has no idea how he would vote in a second Brexit referendum.

The Labour boss also confessed he hasn't read Theresa May's proposed deal - but has vowed to defeat it anyway.

The PM accused Mr Corbyn of "playing politics" after his admission that he's not familiar with the whole withdrawal agreement.

Asked about the 600-page document, he told Sky News: "I have read a lot of it, not every last word - I've read a lot of summaries and analyses."

Mrs May has warned that voting down her deal would lead to either a No Deal scenario, or Brexit being cancelled completely.

Quizzed on which of those outcomes he would prefer, Mr Corbyn refused to answer and said: "I don't think that's an option we're going to be given."

He has pushed for Mrs May to call an election to give Labour the chance to take power.

But his party also says it could back a second referendum on Brexit if there is no General Election before we leave the EU in March next year.

Despite the Labour policy, Mr Corbyn couldn't say how he would vote in a re-run of the 2016 poll.

He said: "I voted in the first referendum to remain, I voted to remain and reform.

"I don't know how I'm going to vote, what the options are going to be at that time."

The party leader's muddled policy was blasted by Tory critics including Mrs May.

The PM blasted: "He hasn't even fully read it, he doesn't even fully know what's in it, and yet he's going to vote against it.

"Why? Because he's playing party politics with this."

Conservative party chairman Brandon Lewis added: "He wants to vote against something he has not even read! Am beyond words!"
