Sunday shows round-up: Corbyn promises a no confidence motion ‘soon’

Jeremy Corbyn: Labour will table vote of no confidence motion ‘soon’

The week ahead promises to be full of drama, with the long awaited ‘meaningful vote’ on Theresa May’s Brexit deal scheduled to take place on Tuesday. The current prognosis does not look good for the Prime Minister, who is still struggling to muster adequate support. This morning, the Leader of the Opposition sat down with Andrew Marr to discuss what course of action he would be taking:

AM: If [May] does lose that vote, do you immediately put down a vote of no confidence in the government?

JC: We will table a motion of no confidence in the government at a time of our choosing. But it’s going to be soon, don’t worry about it.
