MPs are “not fooled” by the EU’s so-called assurances to Theresa May over the Irish backstop arrangement, Jeremy Corbyn said ahead of tomorrow’s crucial vote on the Brexit deal.

The Labour leader tore into the Prime Minister as he stated that “the government was in disarray,” reiterating that if “May’s deal is rejected, it is time for a general election, it is time for a new government.”

The PM is expected to have her plans for leaving the EU voted down tonight by a huge number of MPs.
