Peston claims SNP would back Corbyn as PM
THE Scottish Nationalists will back Jeremy Corbyn to become prime minister to prevent a no-deal Brexit, a television journalist has claimed.
ITV’s Robert Peston said that senior figures in the SNP are in favour of backing Mr Corbyn in order to stop Britain leaving the European Union without an agreement.
It is understood that party leaders Nicola Sturgeon and Ian Blackford are concerned that there is no time to find a compromise candidate before October 31, when Britain’s EU membership is due to expire.
