BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker was accused of "misreporting," the position of the Labour Party on Brexit as he claimed Jeremy Corbyn is to pledge he will do "everything


necessary" to stop the UK from leaving the European Union. In a speech on Monday, the Labour leader is expected to pledge to do whatever needed to prevent a no deal Brexit scenario.


Taking to Twitter to voice his criticism, lawyer Peter Stefanovic said: "BBC1 misreporting again today.  "Here they are saying Jeremy Corbyn 'has pledged to do everything


necessary to stop the UK leaving the EU' when he has actually vowed to do 'everything necessary to stop a disastrous no deal Brexit!'" Other users also protested against


the BBC presenter on Twitter, with one writing: "That level of misinformation can only be deliberate! Not fit for purpose!" Another wrote: "What a dreadful situation we are


now in when the State Broadcaster no longer broadcasts facts!" Mr Walker later responded directly to Mr Stefanovic to apologise, pointing out they later changed the script to match the


content of Mr Corbyn's speech. JUST IN: THE REAL REASON JOHN BERCOW WANTS TO STOP BORIS JOHNSON PROROGUING PARLIAMENT The BBC Breakfast host wrote: "Good morning Peter. It was a


mistake. That was the first time I had seen it at 6.03am when I read the story and we changed it straight away. Thanks for watching." During his speech, the Labour leader will claim the


Tory Government "failed our country," and will renew his calls for a new general election as he insists a new vote will be the "change of direction the country needs".


The speech will follow the leak of a Government document revealing the civil service's concerns over the impact a no deal Brexit scenario could have on food and medicine supplies.  The


documents were marked “official and sensitive” and thus not meant to be removed from departments, though the Cabinet Office did not confirm whether or not an inquiry could take place. READ

Party would face “extinction” if that Brexit did not happen. Mr Johnson said he wishes for changes to the divorce agreement, in particular, the backstop agreement. Brexiteers have voiced


concerns the clause could be used to keep the UK closely aligned to the single market and the customs union. Though the Prime Minister has maintained he will push forward with no deal if


that renegotiation was not successful. He was one of the leading figures of the Vote Leave campaign. His victory in the Tory leadership contest saw the departures of both Mr Hammond and Mr


Gauke.
