Britain’s main opposition party is clear that Britain should stay in the European Union but believes the 28-member bloc should be reformed, newly elected Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Thursday.

Participating in his first Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQ) session on Wednesday, Jeremy Corbyn adopted a fresh approach to the process, which is infamous for its rowdy atmosphere and theatricality.
On his own role, Mr Murray said: “The shadow cabinet needs a strong Scottish voice because we have big issues in Scotland in terms of the Scotland Bill, the elections coming up and developing a policy platform for Scotland”.
Mr Corbyn was contacted for a comment.
While Labour won’t be campaigning to leave the 28-nation bloc, don’t expect Corbyn to fully agree with the Conservatives when it comes ironing out Britain’s membership conditions within the EU.
I said: “Who the f- do you think you are?”‘
Mr Corbyn won a landslide victory to be named the next leader of the Labour Party last weekend.
Jeremy Corbyn, 66, a left-winger who rode a wave of grassroots enthusiasm to become the surprise winner of a leadership contest after three decades on the rebellious fringes of the party, said he had shown appropriate respect and did not see any problem.
The radical left-winger, whose refusal to sing “God Save the Queen” drew ire from the right-wing press, broke with convention and selected his six questions from the public having “crowd sourced” ideas online.
The Bolton South East MP suggested that Mr Corbyn’s performance was an improvement on his predecessors. “We cannot continue down this road of free-market deregulation, which seeks to privatize public services and dilute Europe’s social gains”.
“Many told me they thought prime minister’s question time was too theatrical, that parliament was out of touch and too theatrical and they wanted things done differently, but above all they wanted their voice heard in parliament”, he told BBC’s political editor Laura Kuenssberg.

“I do have fundamental differences with Jeremy on areas like Europe and defence but I think Politics had got a bit dull and I do welcome the debate that has come out of the leadership election”.
