EXCLUSIVE: Jeremy Corbyn demands Brexit rebel MPs make him caretaker PM
refused to publicly rule out allowing the PM to force through a No Deal Brexit on October 31 if it was mid-election campaign.. But in a letter Sir Mark dodged the question and simply said he would properly enforce the law.Last week I wrote to the Cabinet Secretary, Mark Sedwill, for his view on how purdah rules would apply if Parliament is dissolved for a General Election campaign that straddles the Brexit date of 31st October.
While it is likely that the issue will be contested in the courts, our priority should be to work together in Parliament to prevent a deeply damaging No Deal being imposed on the country, denying voters the final say. Following a successful vote of no confidence in the government, I would then, as Leader of the Opposition, seek the confidence of the House for a strictly time-limited temporary government with the aim of calling a general election, and securing the necessary extension of Article 50 to do so.
