Sixth Conservative MP defects to Liberal Democrats

Mr Gyimah sat as an Independent after losing the Tory whip when he backed a move by opposition parties to prevent a no-deal Brexit earlier this month.

Mr Corbyn said that if the UK does leave with no-deal he is determined to hold the government to account to answer for their "irresponsible behaviour" over the last few days. Mr Corbyn said: "Opposition parties have worked very closely on this. We will do all we can to prevent that no-deal crash-out because of all the damage that will do to jobs, living standards, supply chains, food supplies and medicine supplies, and if it happens we're absolutely determined to bring this government to account to make them answer for their irresponsible behaviour over the last few days.

Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan insisted she did not support holding another poll and believed the original result needed to be "fulfilled".
