Jeremy Corbyn accused Theresa May of taking the country on a "road to nowhere" saying her Brexit policy was filled with "waffle and empty rhetoric".

The prime minister was grilled by the Labour leader hours after being handed a "ransom note" by a group of Brexit-supporting backbencher.

The Labour leader used his questions in the House of Commons to hit out at the government's Brexit strategy.

Mr Corbyn said that speeches from key cabinet members had so far given no indication of what the government wants.

The Labour leader pressed the prime minister on the question of a hard border and attacked the foreign secretary Boris Johnson whose speech he said contained "carrots", "spam", "v signs", "stag parties" and a "plague of boils" but no mention of Northern Ireland.

It comes after a letter leaked yesterday demanding "full regulatory autonomy" after Britain leaves the EU has been signed by 62 MPs from the European Research Group

The letter was described as a "ransom note" by Treasury select committee chair Nicky Morgan.

Jeremy Corbyn did not pull his punches on the government's lack of direction over Brexit

Theresa May was also quizzed by other MPs about the impact of Brexit including by Labour's Tulip Siddiq who asked how leaving Euratom and the Customs Union might limit our ability to treat Cancer.

Ms Siddiq said that if medial isotopes are delayed in reaching the UK they could be useless due to short half life.

The Prime Minister promised that leaving the EU would not affect treatment because Radioisotopes are not subject to Euratom regulations.

Labour’s Clwyd South MP Susan Elan Jones asked if May agreed that losing access to the single market will be disastrous for farmers.

To which Mrs May replied that she wants a good trading relationship with the EU.
