So, Labour's Brexit position is now clearer:
A) If it's a Tory Brexit, Labour will demand a referendum (but very likely won't get it). If there is a referendum, they will campaign for remain.
B) If there's a GE, they will campaign for Brexit, negotiate their own deal, then ?????

(It's still not very clear what Labour would do if they're in power - intentionally so, since they're trying to be ambiguous - but they certainly plan a pro-Brexit stance going into a GE. Note that a "Labour Brexit" is still Brexit, so if you want a Remain party Labour's not it.)
Open question as to what happens if Tories go ahead with Brexit & Labour fails to get both a referendum & GE. How will they position themselves on e.g. a reheated version of May's deal, or a harder or no-deal Brexit? Again, if you're looking for a Remain saviour, Labour's not it!
