UK opposition leader not likely to support Brexit deal
With the October 31 deadline for a new Brexit divorce deal looming, EU diplomats have said Brussels was willing to enter intense talks with British negotiators this weekend to try to strike a deal after Johnson backed down in key areas, including dropping a demand for customs checks on the island of Ireland.
Corbyn also told Sophy Ridge on Sunday that he thinks there is a "strong possibility" of a UK election before Christmas.
Jo Swinson, leader of the Liberal Party and a potential kingmaker in any election, said she would not back a Corbyn government, calling both him and Johnson unfit to be prime minister.
Speaking on the same show, Jacob Rees-Mogg, the leader of the House of Commons, said the chances of a deal are looking more positive than they did last week.
