If Labor does back a policy that could keep Britain in the bloc, it will be seen as the party going head-to-head with Boris Johnson's Conservative Party that has pledged to leave the EU with or without a deal on Oct. 31.
The battle over Brexit at the Labor conference dominated the headlines Sunday in the on-line stories for Britain's main newspapers.
The Guardian's headline read: "Corbyn heading for clash with Labor members by calling for Brexit decision to be postponed".
The Guardian reported that the party's NEC shows that Corbyn's current plan is for a Labor government to negotiate a new Brexit deal within three months of coming to power and then to hold a new referendum. The party would decide at a one-day special conference after the renegotiation on how it would campaign in the new referendum.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, meanwhile, arrived in New York Sunday with plans Monday to meet European Council President Donald Tusk, as well as German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanual Macron.
Media reports in London said they are likely to discuss a series of ideas put forward Thursday by Britain in a bid to break the current Brexit deadlock.
"This gives the Prime Minister an opportunity to talk to them at leader level about what some of our proposals are," a government spokesperson said in London.
The leaders have travelled to the U.S. for a meeting of the United Nation's General Assembly, but talks on Brexit are expected to take place on the sidelines.
