Labour tonight threatened to bring a no confidence vote in the government "again and again and again".

Theresa Maywill face the historic vote tomorrow night after suffering the worst ever Commons defeat on her Brexit deal.

But her government is expected to win the vote - and avoid a general election - because her DUP allies will back her thanks to the £1.5bn bung she handed the party in 2017.

Fortunately for Labour the party can call unlimited no confidence votes - a prospect Jeremy Corbyn's spokesman refused to rule out.

And tonight Corbyn loyalist Richard Burgon went much further.

The Shadow Justice Secretary told BBC News: "If we don't win this no confidence vote this time, then we can bring it again and again and again if necessary.

"Each time she loses perhaps one of these votes - and she's losing more and more of them.

"Because actually we need to get rid of this government. We need a general election."

He added: "She suffered the biggest defeat any government has ever faced in history.

"She's turning losing into an art form."

A spokesman for the Labour leader would not rule out calling multiple no confidence votes.

Speaking after the vote, he said: "It's not just lost that vote it's lost that on an unprecedented scale and it quite clearly is not able to govern."

The DUP and hard Brexiteers have both ruled out voting against the government.

But the spokesman said Labour "would be working flat out to win that vote".

Asked if he was suggesting Labour could bring a no confidence motion more than once, he replied: "I was just drawing attention to the fact that motions of no confidence can happen more than once but if we can't get a general election all options are on the table including the option of a public vote."

Jeremy Corbyn's spokesman said they had had no contact from No 10 - despite Theresa May's promise to reach out

He emphasised that the PM's attempts to win over wavering MPs had not worked and only three Labour MPs voted with the government: "Our MPs are extremely disciplined".
