Corbyn: 'It is time for a general election' - BBC News

Jeremy Corbyn says the government has been defeated by an enormous majority and must accept their deal does not have the support of the House.

He calls for no-deal to be taken off the table, and says the Labour Party's proposal is the suitable alternative.

Mr Corbyn says the prime minister "knows full well" the damage a no-deal Brexit would do.

He adds that Labour's plan is a "negotiated customs union, access to the market and protection of rights".

He says the prime minister has run down the clock, "but now the clock has run down on her", noting that "it is time for a general election."

As if Labour, or any other party in fact, are more competent in dealing with the situation

[tamworth]

Of course Comrade Corbyn would want another general election XD

[FelizNAVIDad]

It’s time for a referendum to get rid of brexit

[dianamincher]

With respect, this is the time for a General Election or a People's vote.

[nigeljohnson]

What an opportunist, basically calling to make him prime minister, aren't things bad enough without out adding a Corbyn prime minister to the mix.

Representative democracy at its finest (sarcasm)

[jonathanbarron]

Jeremy is such a bully, hate politics but this man is nasty!!

[vikasshukla]

It seems party politics has taken over the best interests of the country. A Brexit deal should have been a bipartisan negotiation as any other deal would always face rejection.

Dang, and I thought Trump was the worst...lol...Britain is ruled by a pack of wolves..
Lol

[robbiepethicksrightear]

How clueless are both May and corbyn? What a mess...

[balsabreaker]

What, and he thinks that anyone is going to vote for him. Lol

[MattyGsterTheth]

The biggest danger will be this man in power.

[RC-fcvk]

Lol call a general election if you dare. I think all MPs will get a very nasty shock if that were to happen!

*Sometimes divorce doesn’t mean separation, but instead paying better attention to each other. 🤔* ...for the kids

[charliesheen]

wheres the £350million to the NHS they promised?

[diirestraits]

Leave Jeremy alone on this planet and still he won't win an election.

[Ravedaze.]

Oh yeh let’s put Labour in charge (sarcasm)

[Greenpoloboy]

Terrible state of affairs. the PM is useless and the leader of the opposition is even more unpopular

[loveanimals-]

As a non-UK person, Corbyn seems like a sane voice. How the hell is he not PM yet? Jeez.

[darrell]

I swear, i have a feeling that the monarchy needs to intervene
