Heseltine: Let Corbyn stop Brexit

LORD Heseltine was accused of ‘undermining’ Theresa May last night after claiming many Tories were prepared to see Jeremy Corbyn in No10 to stop Brexit.

The Tory peer and former deputy PM said: ‘I hate the idea of Jeremy Corbyn in power.’ But he added: ‘There are increasing numbers ... who think Corbyn is an alternative they can live with.

‘There are Conservatives who feel so strongly about the European issue they would rather risk a Corbyn government ... than see Britain make this calamitous mistake of leaving Europe.’

Last night ex-Chancellor Lord Lamont said: ‘It’s time to get behind the PM. Her job is difficult enough without being undermined.’
