Corbyn accuses May of manipulating MPs by ‘recklessly running down the clock’ to a no-deal Brexit
The Labour leader said May was trying to ‘make her own bad deal look like the lesser of two evils’

JEREMY CORBYN accused Theresa May today of “recklessly running down the clock” in threatening to leave the European Union without a deal in order to force MPs to vote for her unpopular Brexit plans.

During Prime Minister’s Questions, the Labour leader said that Ms May was making a “shameful attempt to make her own bad deal look like the lesser of two evils.”

He added that she is enabling a “criminal waste of money” in spending £4 billion in a “cynical attempt to drive her deeply damaging deal through this House.”
