Corbyn argued that if May was defeated next Tuesday the government would lose “its ability to govern”. “If under the current rules we cannot get an election, all options must be on the table,” Corbyn wrote. She said that she would make her move after May’s deal “failed in the Commons”, although last night the Liberal Democrats took advantage of Wollaston’s decision to submit their own amendment instead. But with the vote looming, Corbyn and the party’s leadership is coming under pressure to spell out what it might do next. Corbyn flies to Lisbon on Friday for the two-day congress of the Party of European Socialists.
