Jeremy Corbyn believes Britain should reject key aspects of the single market when it leaves the European Union, he has made clear, sparking a fresh row with some of his party's MPs. In a briefing after prime minister's questions, a senior Labour source said Corbyn wanted to ditch some of the rules which other member countries see as integral parts of the single market – including restrictions on when governments can bail out failing companies. It came as Theresa May yesterday refused to say whether Britain will seek to retain its single market membership after Brexit, insisting that she doesn't not want to "give away" Britain's negotiating hand.

On Monday David Davis, the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, said it was "improbable" that Britain would remain in the single market after Brexit. But Mrs May told the Commons: "We will not reveal our hand prematurely and we will not provide a running commentary on every twist and turn of the negotiation.

Mr Corbyn, who was criticised by Labour MPs for failing to do more in the EU referendum campaign , said that he "accepts and respects" the Brexit vote.

However he said that he is concerned by state aid rules which prevent the Government from intervening to save companies and requirements which mean Governments have to "liberalise and privatise public services".
