THE SNP and smaller opposition parties have put pressure on Jeremy Corbyn to bring a no confidence in the Prime Minister.

The third largest party at Westminster, the SNP, and Liberal Democrats and Welsh nationalists Plaid Cymru all offered the Labour leader their backing if he moved a vote against Theresa May.

Mr Corbyn however has resisted the calls and instead told the Prime Minister to step aside and have a General Election.

As Theresa May was preparing to make her statement to the House of Commons, Nicola Sturgeon sent a message to Mr Corbyn with the offer to help bring down the Prime Minister.

Using social media she urged the Labour leader: “So Jeremy Corbyn, if Labour, as official opposition, lodges motion of no confidence in this incompetent government tomorrow the SNP will support and we can then work together to give people the chance to stop Brexit in another vote. This shambles can’t go on - so how about it?”

The First Minister’s call was echoed in the House of Commons by LibDem leader Sir Vince Cable.

He said Brexit was a “fiasco” and the government has “lost all credibility”.

He added: “We will support the leader of the opposition if he moves a no confidence vote”.

Instead of signaling a vote of no confidence Mr Corbyn urged the Prime Minister to resign.

Mr Corbyn said the Government “had lost control of events and was in complete disarray.”

He asked if a new deal was being negotiated or the same deal with a few re-assurances.

He said: “If the Prime Minister cannot be clear that she can and will re negotiate a deal then she must make way.

“She is trying to buy herself one last chance to save this deal. If she doesn’t take on board the fundamental changes requires then she must make way for those who can.”
