Frontbencher Rebecca Long-Bailey tells Sky News there needs to be 'hard and fast' progress in talks, which continue this week.
Theresa May's decision to reach out to Labour and offer cross-party talks in a bid to break the impasse had sparked a debate within Jeremy Corbyn's party as to whether he should insist on a second referendum as a"red line".
Quizzed on whether the party would sign off on a deal without a referendum if it met all of its criteria, Ms Long-Bailey refused to say, but added that if they were not met then"all options are on the table which includes campaigning for a public vote". Put to her that this sounded like a second referendum was not a red line for Labour, she replied:"No, a public vote in the event of the situation that I've just outlined has always been our party policy, now we have to be flexible in where we move on, we've got to keep all options on the table and that's what we're doing.
"Until we find out out what the final deal vote will be, we are of course pushing the government to consider the policy option that we have which is a public vote to avoid a damaging no-deal Brexit or a bad deal, and they are considering that."
