Brexit: Tory MP Oliver Letwin rejects Corbyn as caretaker PM
Once in the role of caretaker prime minister, Mr Corbyn say he intends to delay Brexit, call a snap election, and campaign for another referendum.
His comments came amid an ongoing row among MPs who oppose no deal, with Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson initially dismissing Mr Corbyn's plan as a"nonsense". But the head of the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon, was among those applying pressure to Ms Swinson to change her stance. Sir Oliver suggested the majority of MPs did not want a no-deal Brexit, although he said he was"not terribly optimistic" they would reach an agreement.
"I simply don't think that Jeremy Corbyn, as leader of the Labour Party - and particularly with his very strong views, which he's entitled to - is the right person," he said. "His views, and the way he's expressing them, are so removed from what I would describe as proper and traditional conservatism as to cause real disquiet," he said.
