Jeremy Corbyn Loses No-Confidence Vote Among Labour MPs

HeadlineJun 29, 2016

In Britain, Parliament members with the opposition Labour Party have passed a no-confidence motion against leader Jeremy Corbyn. The vote against Corbyn was 172 to 40. Corbyn has faced a coup within his own party following Britain’s vote to exit the European Union. But Corbyn’s supporters say his rivals are using the Brexit vote as a pretext to oust him over his left-leaning stances. Tuesday’s no-confidence vote against Corbyn is not binding, but Labour leaders are expected to mount a bid to replace him.
