But the Labour leader made clear he still believes that an early general election is the best way to resolve the political crisis over Britain’s withdrawal from the EU.

He said his party was ready to “put our case to Parliament” for an early poll, in comments likely to fuel speculatio­n that Labour will table a vote of no confidence in Theresa May if talks with Brussels fail.
