Jeremy Corbyn has tabled a vote of no confidence in Theresa May, as he accused the Prime Minister of "cynically running down the clock" towards the Brexit deadline.

Mr Corbyn put forward the motion after claiming Mrs May had forced the UK to face two unacceptable choices: leaving the EU with her flawed deal or with no deal it all.

The vote will be held on Tuesday evening, according to Labour MP Mary Creagh.

It came as Mrs May urged MPs in her own party to "think of the national interest" and back her deal.

"I know there are a range of very strongly-held personal views on this issue across the House and I respect all of them," she said.

I know this is not everyone's perfect deal. It is a compromise. But if we let the perfect be the enemy of the good, we risk leaving the EU with no deal."
