Jeremy Corbyn pokes fun at Boris Johnson on campaign visit

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn mimics Prime Minister Boris Johnson (in the above video) as he gives a speech and canvasses residents in Milton Keynes as General Election campaigning gets under way.

Mr Corbyn has pledged to "get Brexit sorted" in six months as he accused Johnson of being solely to blame for the EU departure delay.

On the day the Prime Minister missed the Halloween deadline he said he would meet "do or die", the Labour leader outlined his plan to end the saga.

Mr Corbyn vowed to broker a new deal with Brussels and to put it to the people in a referendum as he officially kicked off his winter General Election campaign for number No 10 with a speech in London on Thursday.

"Friends, today is October 31," he said to laughter from the crowd of supporters gearing up for the December 12 election. "The day Boris Johnson promised we would leave the EU.

"He said he would rather be dead in a ditch than delay beyond today. But he has failed. And that failure is his alone.

"After three long years of Brexit division and failure from the Tories, we have to get this issue sorted.

"We need to take it out of the hands of the politicians and trust the people to have the final say.

"Labour will get Brexit sorted within six months. We'll let the people decide whether to leave with a sensible deal or remain."
