LONDON—Britain’s opposition Labour Party will back a new referendum on Brexit after Parliament defeated its alternative plan for leaving the European Union, the party’s euroskeptic leader, Jeremy Corbyn, said.

With 29 days left until the United Kingdom is due to leave the European Union, both Prime Minister Theresa May and Corbyn have been forced into making changes to their approaches to the divorce.
