Jeremy Corbyn has accused Theresa May of being autocratic like Henry VIII by refusing to promise Parliament a vote on the final Brexit deal.

The Labour leader said it would be "extraordinary" if the Prime Minister used the royal prerogative to bypass British MPs while parliaments in other European countries got to vote on the package.

His comments come after Mrs May refused to commit herself to giving Parliament a vote when the eventual deal is thrashed out in early 2019, while questioned during a select committee hearing.

"It (a final Brexit deal) would have to come to Parliament," Mr Corbyn told The Guardian.

"She cannot hide behind Henry VIII and the divine rights of the power of kings on this one."
