Quote:
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says his party will support an early general election as the government makes its pitch for a poll on 12 December.
Mr Corbyn said his condition to take a no-deal Brexit off the table "has now been met" after the EU agreed to extend the deadline to 31 January 2020.
But he did not explicitly say if he would back the government's bill in Parliament later.
