Labour would seek to complete Brexit if it won a snap general election in the new year, Jeremy Corbyn has said.
The opposition leader said he would 'go back and negotiate and see what the timetable would be' with Brussels if Theresa May triggered a vote and lost.
Mr Corbyn has resisted the growing calls from his party's grassroots to back a second referendum on the Brexit deal.
His latest comments in an interview with the Guardian will further dismay the pro-Remain Labour MPs who have backed a 'people's vote'.

Mr Corbyn told the paper a Labour government would 'go back to the EU with a discussion about a customs union' if it came to power before March 29.
Asked about Labour's position if there was a fresh popular vote, he said: 'It would be a matter for the party to decide what the policy would be.'
'My proposal at this moment is that we go forward, trying to get a customs union with the EU, in which we would be able to be proper trading partners.'
Mr Corbyn said it was in the 'national interest' for Parliament to decide on Mrs May's Brexit deal after the vote in the Commons was cancelled last week.
He has described the withdrawal agreement as a 'miserable failure of negotiation' and vowed to vote against it in Parliament.
But he has so far stopped short of tabling a full-scale vote of no confidence which could trigger a general election.

This week he was embroiled in a Commons row after he was accused of referring to Mrs May as a 'stupid woman', which he denied.
In the interview Mr Corbyn also attacked the European Union over its tight rules on state aid and competition, suggesting it would stop a Labour government from 'regenerating' the economy.
The Labour leader has long faced pressure from pro-Europe MPs who regard him as a Eurosceptic.
During the 2016 referendum campaign he said his support for Britain's EU membership was no more than 'seven or seven and a half out of ten'.
In the aftermath of the Brexit vote he faced a leadership challenge from MPs who accused him of doing too little for the Remain campaign.
At last year's general election Labour promised to respect the referendum result and deliver Brexit.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
