Jeremy Corbyn’s stance on Brexit is the focus for renewed scrutiny in the papers in the wake of Friday night’s Question Time election special.
The Times and the Telegraph both splash on the key policy question with the former’s headline picking up on the Labour leader’s announcement that he would not campaign for leave or remain in any future referendum: “Corbyn ‘neutral’ on Brexit”.

The Telegraph notches it up a little bit and says “Corbyn would refuse to back his own deal in Brexit vote”. Its front page picture is of retiring Labour MP and Brexiter Kate Hoey, who tells the paper in an interview that she is at odds with the party and says “Labour has left me”.

The Guardian also leads with the Corbyn story but adds in the fact that Boris Johnson came in for questioning about his suitability for office, its headline saying “Corbyn ‘neutral’ on Brexit as PM attacked on trust”.

The Mail prefers a story about how GPs have voted to scrap home visits because they are too time-consuming. “End of GP home visit,” it says, alongside a picture of Prince Andrew and the headline “Now Andrew’s team pitched out of palace”.
