Blairite MPs who opposed Jeremy Corbyn will not be welcomed back into the shadow cabinet, senior allies of Jeremy Corbyn have indicated, as the Labour leader vowed to push forward with his far-left plan for Government.

Instead, moderate MPs who have not been supportive of the leader could be offered roles developing policy for the party in a bid to reward the loyalty of those who stayed by Jeremy Corbyn's side.

Both Emily Thornberry and John McDonnell yesterday warned against replacing the shadow cabinet with senior moderate MPs amid fears it would create a further rift within the party.

It came as Mr Corbyn vowed to force Theresa May out of Downing Street and take over as Prime Minister as a shock new poll showed the party six points ahead of the Conservatives.

The Labour leader yesterday called for a second General Election in the coming weeks and months amid claims that his party would win if another ballot was held.

He also pledged to block Theresa May's Queen's Speech in the Commons and to table his own instead in a bid to frustrate the Prime Minister's ability to govern and ultimately force her out through a vote of no confidence.
