MOSCOW (Sputnik) — UK nationals are set to vote on June 23 in a referendum on the country's EU membership after Prime Minister David Cameron and the leaders of 27 EU member states agreed in February to grant the United Kingdom a special status within the bloc.

"We would oppose any post-Brexit austerity budget just as we have opposed the austerity budget put forward by this government," Corbyn told the parliament.
