Jeremy Corbyn calls for a UK election to stop a no-deal Brexit

Britain's opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn says he wants an election and that his party will stop a no-deal Brexit.

"We must come together to stop no deal - this week could be our last chance," Corbyn said in a speech in Salford, northern England.

"Then we need a general election.

"In that election, Labour will give people the chance to take back control and have the final say in a public vote with credible options on both sides including the option to remain," Corbyn said.

When asked whether Labour really wanted a general election, he said: "We want a general election."

"The vote of no confidence is very much there on the table," Corbyn said.

"If it's a no deal then we would vote to remain, if it's any other deal then our party's democratic processes will decide what position we take."
