Jeremy Corbyn is facing a backlash from his shadow cabinet after resisting calls to demand a second referendum during his talks with Theresa May.

The Labour leader was told by Emily Thornberry, the shadow foreign secretary, and Tom Watson, the party's Deputy Leader, that any deal agreed must be subject "confirmatory" public vote.

However Mr Corbyn said that he will only pursue a second referendum to "prevent crashing out" or "prevent leaving without a deal".

Both Labour and Downing Street described the talks as "constructive" and will continue with further technical talks today.

The two sides are expected to attempt to reach a deal on plans for a Customs Union with the EU after Brexit, previously a central Labour policy but a red line for Mrs May.
