Jeremy Corbyn is facing up to 10 resignations from Labour's top team if he fails to push the case for a new Brexit referendum, it has been reported.

Frustrated MPs are said to have warned the party’s leader they are prepared to resign if he fails to whip MPs to vote for a pro-referendum amendment.

Labour has already tabled an amendment to the Government motion requiring Theresa May to either put her deal to a Commons vote by February 27 or allow Parliament to take control of the process.

But now anti-Brexit MPs, junior shadow ministers and grassroots members have told The Guardian they are prepared to resign if Mr Corbyn does not also lend his support to an amendment that backs a fresh referendum.

Mr Corbyn has been facing conflicting opinions within the party on whether to back a second vote, with some frontbenchers making clear they would not back one.

But others, including Shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer, have said the option of another referendum should not be ruled out.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell has insisted that the option of a new Brexit poll remains on the table and he admitted that Labour's preferred scenario of a snap general election is looking unlikely.

The Labour leadership is also set to back a proposal from backbencher Yvette Cooper, expected to be debated on February 27, that would require a vote by the middle of March on delaying Brexit.

Commons Speaker John Bercow will choose which amendments will be selected for a vote on Thursday.

An amendment from Labour MP Roger Godsiff calls for an extension of the Brexit negotiation period to allow for a second referendum.

A cross-party initiative supported by Tory Anna Soubry and Labour's Chuka Umunna tells the Government to publish its most recent official briefing on the implications of a no-deal Brexit for business and trade.

And the SNP has tabled a motion requiring the UK Government to begin immediate negotiations with the European Council to extend Article 50 by no less than three months.

It comes as Prime Minister faced the prospect of a Valentine’s Day revolt from hardline Tory MPs in a key Brexit vote later on Thursday.

Eurosceptic Conservatives are threatening to oppose a Government motion, which critics say effectively means Mrs May is abandoning a no-deal exit option.
