Only 35 percent of respondents who backed Labour at the last election said they wanted to see Mr Corbyn running the country, according to YouGov.

Just over a third of Labour supporters who backed the party in 2017 indicated that they would want to see him in Downing Street in a new poll.

It also found that the figure fell to 26 percent when they were asked if they wanted to see him manage Brexit.

Meanwhile, a shadow minister quit Mr Corbyn’s frontbench on Friday, citing the “utterly offensive” attacks directed at her by Remainer activists due to her support for Brexit.

Gloria de Piero, a shadow justice minister, confirmed she would be stepping down and would not contest her seat at the next election.
