Labour might be able to reveal new plans for a renegotiated deal which it would put to a referendum, as Corbyn hinted over the weekend, sources suggest.
Breaking: Jeremy Corbyn announces that Labour will table or support an amendment in favour of a new Brexit referendum 
Corbyn will tell the PLP meeting of Labour MPs tonight that the party will:
— enshrine Labour's alternative Brexit deal in an amendment
— support the Cooper-Letwin Article 50 amendment
— AND table/support an amendment facilitating a "public vote" to prevent a "Tory Brexit"
— enshrine Labour's alternative Brexit deal in an amendment
— support the Cooper-Letwin Article 50 amendment
— AND table/support an amendment facilitating a "public vote" to prevent a "Tory Brexit"
Questions:
1) is "public vote" definitely a referendum?
2) if so, is Remain an option?
3) who is tabling the amendment that Corbyn talks about? Is it Kyle-Wilson?

Significant: Corbyn will whip Labour MPs to back a referendum for the first time, maybe this week, as per Starmer's tweet.
But: still no HoC majority (for now.) Corbyn *doesn't say* Labour will back all referendum amendments. Could bounce Brexiteers into backing May's deal.
