Labour falls SIX points behind the Tories despite May’s Brexit chaos as Corbyn faces a growing rebellion of MPs
Labours policy is to push for a general election
Labour has fallen six points behind the Tories despite May’s Brexit chaos, a new poll out today reveals.
Jeremy Corbyn’s party has plunged to 35 per cent, its lowest rating since
The figures from YouGov for The Times suggest Mr Corbyn has completely failed to capitalise on the deep trouble facing the Government.
The Labour leader’s woes deepened today as another MP, Sir Kevin Barron, announced he would defy orders to vote for the Brexit deal
The Rother Valley MP represents one of the strongest Leave-supporting parts of the country and he is among a number of Labour MPs causing a deep split in the party.
Other Labour MPs – including John Mann and ex minister Jim Fitzpatrick – have also declared they will vote for the deal.
There will not be enough Labour votes to save Mrs May in the Commons tomorrow night.
In other developments today, shadow chancellor John McDonnell said there should just be a simple vote on the deal tomorrow night, with amendments voted on later to avoid muddying the result.
Ahead of the vote, Sir Kevin said it ‘saddens me’ so many MPs appeared determined to cancel Brexit.
