Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has insisted that an election is his top priority if Theresa May‘s Brexit deal is rejected by MPs next week, saying he wants the chance to negotiate a better withdrawal deal with the EU.

Mr Corbyn was pressed repeatedly on the BBC‘s Andrew Marr Show to name a date for when he would table a no confidence vote but refused to.

Mr Corbyn has angered Labour MPs and supporters by arguing Brexit cannot be stopped – and by going on to reject the growing calls for a fresh public vote.
