Jeremy Corbyn defended his decision to take a neutral stance in the future Brexit referendum, calling it a \u2018symbol of strength\u2019 and a \u2018sign of maturity\u2019. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Appearing in the programme of BBC Question Time, Corbyn confirmed for the first time that he would not neither support Brexit nor support to remain in Europe, if his party wins power.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister, Boris Johnson questioned how Mr Corbyn could be \u2018indifferent\u2019 on such an important issue.<\/p>\n

Also, the leader of Liberal Democrats, Jo Swinson, accused him of an \u201cabdication of leadership\u201d.<\/p>\n

But Corbyn said \u201cacting as an \u2018honest broker\u2019 was a sensible way forward that can bring people together\u201d.<\/p>\n

If he becomes prime minister, Mr Corbyn has promised to negotiate a new Brexit deal with the EU and put this to a public vote alongside the option of remain.<\/p>\n

However, Boris Johnson expressed in the programme, \u201cthis Labour leader\u2019s neutrality will undermine his ambitions to negotiate a new Brexit deal. I don\u2019t see how he can do a deal when he is going to be neutral\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson has announced a \u00a31.6 billion money boost to find a cure for dementia, which he says would double current funding levels.<\/p>\n

Mr Corbyn visited Sheffield\u2019s Amazon warehouse and launched a youth manifesto called \u2018The future is ours\u2019. In the declaration, this Labor Party leader promised to give a 16-year-old young people the right to vote.<\/p>\n
