Jeremy Corbyn has warned that failure to reach a new trade agreement with the EU would be "catastrophic" for British jobs.

The Labour leader, in Brussels for talks with senior EU figures, accused Prime Minister Theresa May of presiding over "chaos" in the Brexit negotiations.

He said that the Government now needed to take action to get the talks back on track.

"The Prime Minister seems to have managed to upset just about everybody and have a warring Cabinet around her," he told Sky News.

"It is up to her to get the negotiations back on track. We cannot countenance the idea that we just rush headlong into no deal with Europe. No deal with Europe would be very dangerous for employment and jobs in Britain.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn delivers his speech at the Labour Party annual conference at the Brighton Centre, Brighton.

"The idea of no deal would mean that World Trade Organisation rules would be implemented straight away in March 2019.

"It would be catastrophic for manufacturing industry jobs and we would have real problems all through the economy. I don't want to see that. I want to see an agreement being reached.

"We have to realise the seriousness of the situation and the chaos in which our Government is operating at the present time. It is a chaos of their own making."
