Labour will vote against any Brexit deal produced by Theresa May and is ready to fight an election before Christmas, a senior ally of Jeremy Corbyn warns today.
Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said it was clear a workable deal was 'just not going to happen' with Mrs May in charge.
Ms Thornberry's warning makes explicit a threat from Labour to vote down the deal and narrows further the PM's hopes of getting a deal through Parliament.
Without opposition support, just a handful of Brexiteer rebels will consign Mrs May to humiliating and possible terminal defeat.
The Labour warning comes amid a fierce Brexit backlash against Bank of England Governor Mark Carney for his briefing on the risks of no deal.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, the influential chairman of Brexiteer Tory MPs, accused Mr Carney of behaving like a 'screaming banshee' for outlining a scenario for ministers where house prices plunge by a third.
Overnight Brexit champion Boris Johnson re-emerged from a storm over his personal life to renew his calls for a clean break from Brussels.

Sources close to Mr Corbyn made clear there was no shift in Labour's position, which has always made the party's support for a deal dependant on six tests.
Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer said in July Mrs May's Chequers proposals would fail the tests - a clear signal Labour would whip against the deal.
Ms Thornberry, the current bookies' favourite to eventually replace Mr Corbyn, made explicit the threat to Mrs May in an FT interview.
She said 'I can't see them coming back with a deal that is going to meet our six tests and I can't see them coming back with a deal that will unite the Tory party, for Heaven's sake.'
She said defeat of the deal in the coming months would mean there must be a general election to break the impasse.
Ms Thornberry added: 'They are not capable of governing. We're either going to have a general election in the autumn or we're going to have it in the spring.'
Ms Thornberry said she did not believes the blueprint ironed out by the Cabinet at Chequers in July would ever be a working model.
She said: 'I don't think this kind of half-in, half-out of the customs union will work. I think it's just full of red tape and it's going to cost us too much money. It's just nonsense.
Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said it was clear a workable deal was 'just not going to happen' with Mrs May in charge.
''Even if they come back in October, November, and they say, ''this flimsy bit of paper is what you're going to have to agree to, otherwise there'll be no deal''.
'We're not going to agree to either of those.'
Labour's six tests include a comprehensive trade agreement as well as continued co-operation on science, security, research and technology.
The party also wants a deal that provides the 'exact same benefits' from Europe as EU membership.
Sir Keir adopted the phrase after it was first used by David Davis, the former Brexit secretary.
Ms Thornberry said she wanted a national election rather than another referendum to settle Britain's Brexit future.

Bank of England chief Mr Carney was lashed as a 'cracked record' today after details of his rare invitation to brief Theresa May's ministers emerged.
He told yesterday's no deal Cabinet that crashing out could produce a recession worse than the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.
Mr Carney (pictured today in Ireland) has warned that a no-deal Brexit could be as disastrous as the 2008 financial crash
And he detailed how banks were being prepared for a catastrophic 30 per cent plunge in house prices. The figure is thought to apply to a worst case scenario 'stress test' and not a forecast but has been seen as scaremongering.
The scenario also outlines spiralling unemployment.
Mr Carney defended his remarks in a speech to the Central Bank of Ireland today: 'Our job, after all, is not to hope for the best but to plan for the worst.'
He warned 'uncertainty around Brexit has had an additional dampening effect' on the economy.
But Brexiteers reacted with fury today after Mr Carney's speech to Cabinet emerged.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Tory in charge of the powerful European Research Group, told MailOnline: 'The Governor of the Bank of England is meant to be able to influence events through the modest movement of his eyebrows, not by imitating a screaming banshee.'
Brexiteer Nigel Evans told MailOnline it was the same gloomy story from Mr Carney.
He said: 'The Governor's pronouncements should be known as Carneyage - that's when you predict doom, gloom and mayhem and get it wrong every time.'

Mr Carney's Cabinet briefing emerged after it was claimed British business will be hit by a 'sledgehammer' of red tape and higher costs if the UK crashes out of Europe without a deal.
The CBI said a slew of new Government papers on how Britain would tackle a collapse in talks proved the dangers of failure in Brussels.
The warnings came after Theresa May secured the agreement of her Cabinet to step up preparations for no deal.
A tranche of papers on the impact of crashing out of the EU says motorists would need new £5.50 international permits to use their cars on the continent.
They also warn that if negotiations with Brussels fail ex-pats might be forced to retake driving tests after March next year, as their UK ones will no longer be valid.
Britons with less than six months to run on their passports would also have to renew before travelling to the EU - while traditional-style British blue passports will not start being issued again until late in 2019.
The government played down fears that holidaymakers would be hit with swingeing roaming charges for using mobile phones in the EU - saying the biggest telecoms companies have agreed not to impose extra fees.
CBI director general Carolyn Fairburn said no deal would be devastating for firms.
She warned: 'These notices make clear firms would be hit with a sledgehammer in the event of 'no deal'.
'They also illustrate the extent of the disruption consumers can expect if ideology wins over evidence.'
Adam Marshall, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce said: 'Firms still need greater precision from the government in order to be able to plan ahead with confidence.
'Many companies tell us they are deeply concerned by the impression that key information they need in order to prepare for change is being held back due to political sensitivities as the party conference season commences.
'Speed, precision and clarity are of the essence so that businesses can prepare for change.'

Mike Cherry, chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses, said: 'With each release of the Government's technical notes, we get a clearer picture of how dangerous and damaging a sudden no-deal Brexit will be for our small businesses.'
Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer said: 'We are less than 200 days until we leave the European Union and the Government still has no credible plan for Brexit. The Cabinet should be planning to negotiate a good deal for Britain, not planning for failure or blaming businesses for the Government's chaos.
'The only reason the Government is talking about no deal is because the Tory civil war on Europe prevents the Prime Minister from negotiating a good deal.
'With the clock ticking, Ministers should drop the irresponsible rhetoric and start putting jobs and the economy first.'
One of the papers confirms that 'International Driving Permits' would be needed across much of the EU if there is no deal.
'You may be turned away at the border or face other enforcement action, for example fines, if you don't have the correct IDP,' the document states.
The document says the government will only start providing IDPs at most Post Offices after February 1 next year - which could fuel concerns about an administrative log-jam for people wishing to travel to the continent.
Currently they can only be obtained from around 90 Post Offices nationwide or by mail order from two private companies.
There are two types of IDP required by EU countries, depending on whether they have ratified the 1949 or 1968 conventions on road traffic - meaning some travellers will need both permits.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
