David Cameron tells opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn to resign

British Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday told the leader of the main opposition Labour party Jeremy Corbyn, who is now facing a revolt from his own MPs, to step down for the good of the country.

An overwhelming majority of Labour lawmakers passed a no confidence motion in Jeremy Corbyn on Tuesday and nearly all his senior policy team have withdrawn their support in protest at his leadership, but Corbyn has refused to step down.

Rowley, Findlay and Leonard call on Labour MPs to respect Corbyn’s mandate as leader after he was overwhelmingly elected to the post last September by rank and file party members.

A split has emerged at the top of the Labour party in Scotland after Deputy leader Alex Rowley pledged his support for Jeremy Corbyn as United Kingdom leader.

Many believe Corbyn has failed to effectively lead the Labour Party after he kept a low profile during European Union referendum campaigning and saw Labour heartlands in England and Wales vote for a Brexit, the opposite of his stance to remain in the EU.

A total of 103 Labour Party members in the East Midlands have also sent a letter to Corbyn urging him to resign immediately for the sake of the party.

Mr Watson’s intervention came after former leaders Ed Miliband, Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman joined calls for Mr Corbyn to quit. My decision is about the future of the party and how we best focus on achieving our objective.

“He is basically standing as the leader of the Labour Party, if there is a contest he will be standing again”.

He will address a rally organised by his backers in the Momentum movement on Wednesday evening, with Public and Commercial Services union chief Mark Serwotka and Fire Brigades Union general secretary Matt Wrack also speaking in support of him.

Watson blamed hard left shadow chancellor John McDonnell for not allowing Mr Corbyn to step down.

While he ruled himself out as a leadership challenger, he said: “This does need solving”. You have actively worked to divide Labour MPs. It is simply immoral and wrong.

The Stoke-on-Trent North MP said in a statement this afternoon Corbyn had “stood by” and done “absolutely nothing” as she was subjected to “anti-Semitic slurs”.

“The people, the mass, young people coming together and fighting for what we believe in – this coup by the PLP is nothing short of an assault on our democracy. Our people need Labour party members, trade unionists and MPs to unite behind my leadership at a critical time for our country”.

“I had some troubles with people in the Labour party, some of them ideological, some of them to do with other issues”.
