Jeremy Corbyn has confirmed Labour will not seek pacts or coalitions in December's General Election , whatever the result.
Speaking after Prime Minister's Questions today, Mr Corbyn's spokesman said: “There will be no pacts, no coalition and if Labour is the largest party it will seek to form a government on that basis.”
Mr Corbyn himself made a similar pledge over the weekend during a visit to Scotland.
Speaking at the Unite conference in Ayr, Mr Corbyn said: "After a general election, we will have either a Tory prime minister or a Labour prime minister, there's no other option available.
"I'm going in to fight that election whenever it comes, this year, whenever, I'll be ready for it.
"There will be no pacts with any other party, we are fighting that election to win it in every part of the UK."
He added: "A no-deal crash-out would be a disaster, we would instead negotiate a credible option with the EU and put that to the people to make the final decision and we would abide by the results of that final decision."
Political parties are gearing up for the first December general election in almost a century, after MPs backed Boris Johnson's fourth attempt to go to the polls.
The Prime Minister has said he is prepared for a "tough" battle, while shadow chancellor John McDonnell said he thought Labour would win a majority.
Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson insisted the campaign was not a two-horse race between Mr Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn , and that she was standing as a candidate to be Prime Minister.
The Government's one-page Bill enabling the election to be held on December 12 will be considered by the House of Lords on Wednesday, but it is unlikely to be held up in the unelected upper chamber.
Once it receives the royal assent, it will pave the way for Parliament to be dissolved on November 6.
