Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn visited Hastings this morning to give a speech outlining his party’s position on a no-deal Brexit and a potential second referendum.

In front of a crowd at St Mary in the Castle, the leader of the opposition repeatedly called on Theresa May to take a no-deal Brexit ‘off the table’.

Opening his speech, Mr Corbyn said it was ‘great to be in Hastings’ – a constituency where Labour came within 346 votes of taking Amber Rudd’s seat at the last election in 2017.

Mr Corbyn, who yesterday lost a no-confidence motion against Theresa May, accused the Prime Minister of ‘blackmailing’ MPs with a no-deal scenario so they would back her second attempt at passing a withdrawal agreement through parliament.
