The Mayor of London has questioned Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's plan to stay neutral if there was a second referendum.
Corbyn had recently announced that he will stay neutral and let the people decide on Brexit.
“A Labour government would secure a sensible deal based on the terms we have long advocated, including a new customs union with the EU; a close single market relationship; and guarantees of workers’ rights and environmental protections.
“We would then put that to a public vote alongside remain. I pledge to carry out whatever the people decide, as a Labour prime minister,” he said.
Sadiq Khan has however said that Labour was "a remain party."
“I’m quite clear the Labour party that I belong to, the Labour party I’m proud to be a Labour mayor of, we should be a Remain party," he told Sky News.
“What we should be doing is giving the British public a final say, do you accept the terms of exit from the EU that’s been negotiated by the Government or do you want to remain in the European Union.
“I can’t think of anything more democratic that giving the British public a say, and I think we should if there’s a referendum, a public vote, campaign to remain.”
A number of frontbenchers such as Tom Watson and John McDonnell have said they would campaign to Remain if the event of a second referendum.
On Thursday, Khan also warned Corbyn not to take the Labour party "backwards" by re-introducing an 'out-of-date' party policy advocating widespread nationalisation.
Party workers have tabled a motion that will be debated at the annual Labour Party conference in Brighton this weekend.
