Labour, in fourth place in the polls, needs to come out for a Final Say referendum to survive

The Labour leader’s refusal to get off the Brexit fence has pushed the party down to its joint lowest ever polling position

The message of the opinion polls for Jeremy Corbyn could not be clearer. The latest YouGov survey puts the Labour Party on 18 per cent, in fourth place behind the Conservatives, the Brexit Party and the Liberal Democrats.

The latest Ipsos Mori poll, meanwhile, gives Mr Corbyn the worst rating of any leader of the opposition since the series began in 1977, with 17 per cent satisfied with the way he is doing his job as leader of the opposition, and 75 per cent dissatisfied.

The Labour leader is doing something wrong. With the right of centre deeply divided between a leaderless Conservative Party and the insurgent Brexit Party, this ought to be a moment of great opportunity for a party of social justice and international cooperation.
