NICOLA Sturgeon has called on Jeremy Corbyn to lodge a vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister.
The First Minister has said that if he does, the SNP will support it and work with the Labour Party to bring down Theresa May's Brexit plan and stop the process "in another vote".
"So @jeremycorbyn," she tweeted, "if Labour, as official opposition, lodges motion of no confidence in this incompetent government tomorrow, @theSNP will support & we can then work together to give people the chance to stop Brexit in another vote. This shambles can’t go on - so how about it?"

MPs were due to vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal at Westminster tomorrow, but with the Prime Minister facing a humiliating defeat, rumours are growing that that vote will now be delayed.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
