Jeremy Corbyn will tear into Theresa May's Tory team today for "fibbing to the British people" and risking financial ruin as he tries to assure Britain he can get the best Brexit deal.

The Labour leader will hit back after Theresa May said he would be "weak" and "alone and naked" in EU talks starting just 11 days after the general election.

Campaigning on Teesside, his Tory rival today promised Britain "can do great things" if it gets the right deal.

But just a week before the general election, Mr Corbyn will warn her continuing threat to walk away with no deal at all is "alienating everyone" and could spell "economic disaster".

"Theresa May’s approach risks a jobs meltdown across Britain," he will add.

After weeks of attacks on his own leadership, Mr Corbyn will move to highlight the three ministers who will lead Brexit if the Tories win.

And he will contrast them with his own team of Emily Thornberry, Keir Starmer and Barry Gardiner flanking him on stage.

In a speech in Leave-voting Basildon, Essex, he will say: "We know the three Tories in whose hands Theresa May has placed our national future - David Davis, Boris Johnson and Liam Fox.

"Now you know I don’t do personal attacks.

"So let me just say that in Labour’s Brexit team, there is no one who has fibbed to the British people about spending an extra £350 million a week on the NHS because of Brexit.

"And nobody who has promised to use Brexit to slash workers’ rights or slash tax for big corporations in a continental race to the bottom.”

Foreign Secretary Mr Johnson campaigned on the false promise of £350m for the NHS with the official Vote Leave campaign.

Theresa May has repeatedly attacked Mr Corbyn, warning he will not have the negotiating strength to match the other 27 EU nations.

On Wednesday it was reported the EU would be prepared to delay the talks if Mr Corbyn wins power next week.

Meanwhile the Labour leader was boosted by a YouGov poll giving the Tories the slimmest lead of the campaign yet at just three points.

Mr Corbyn will renew pledges to "make Britain a centre for science, technology and research" and end the exploitation of workers.

He will add: "Britain is leaving the EU. But let’s be clear, there is no such thing as ‘no deal’.

"If we leave without a positive agreement because we have needlessly alienated everyone, we still have to trade with the EU. But on what terms?

"Theresa May says no deal is better than a bad deal. Let’s be clear: ‘no deal’ is in fact a bad deal. It is the worst of all deals because it would leave us with World Trade Organisation tariffs and restrictions, instead of the access to European markets we need.

"That would mean slapping tariffs on the goods we export - an extra 10 per cent on cars - with the risk that key manufacturers would leave for the European mainland, taking skilled jobs with them."
