Corbyn to May: ‘Do the right thing and resign’

JEREMY CORBYN drove a stake into the heart of the “zombie” Tory government today, declaring that Prime Minister Theresa May’s “Frankenstein deal” was now “officially dead.”

He said the PM should do “the right thing” and resign after losing both “confidence and supply” in Parliament and let the people of Britain decide on the way ahead with a general election.

The Labour leader opened the debate on his motion of no confidence in the government by attacking Theresa May for presiding over “the largest defeat in the history of our democracy” last night when the Withdrawal Agreement with the EU was defeated by 230 votes.
