Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn turns on party rebels, faces no-confidence motion

Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the UK Labour Party, has attacked the wave of his MPs who have quit his top team for “indulging in internal” manoeuvring.

The Labour leader has lost 20 members from the shadow cabinet and a raft of junior frontbenchers over the last 24 hours amid a wave of criticism of his leadership.

In a House of Commons statement on Britain’s decision to quit the European Union, Mr Corbyn said the country was divided.
