Tom Watson hints at government of national unity to break Brexit deadlock

Tom Watson has hinted that he would be willing to serve in a government of national unity in an attempt to break the Brexit deadlock. The Labour deputy leader said 'if needs must, we have to then do what’s right', as Parliament struggles to agree a way for the UK to leave the European Union. Mr Watson's comments are likely to spark an angry backlash from many Labour members, who would be bitterly opposed to their party going into government with the Tories as well as MPs from other parties.
