Shadow education secretary Lucy Powell resigns

Thursday’s United Kingdom -wide vote to leave the European Union was very unpopular in Scotland, where 62 percent cast ballots to stay, and Sturgeon says she is studying ways to keep Scotland part of the European Union bloc.

Shadow minister for women and equalities Cat Smith reminded fellow party members that, “Labour is a democratic socialist party whose members democratically elected Jeremy Corbyn less than a year ago”.

However Mr Corbyn now faces a vote of no confidence which will be discussed at the weekly meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party at Westminster on Monday with a secret ballot of MPs expected the following day.

Two Labour members of parliament, Dame Margaret Hodge and Ann Coffey, filed a no confidence motion against Corbyn, who Hodge feels was late coming “out of the stable” on the Brexit referendum and gave nearly no direction as to what Labour could do to make their case to the British people.

In its Sunday editions, The Observer reported that Mr. Benn was trying to organize a serious move to unseat Mr. Corbyn because the political landscape had changed with the referendum vote and the resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron. Benn had told his leader he had lost confidence in Corbyn’s ability to lead. The dissidents want Corbyn, who represents the far-left wing of the party, ousted before the next general election because many believe he can not win. “He is a good and decent man but he is not a leader and that is the problem”.

This started when Corbyn sacked his shadow foreign secretary, party veteran Hilary Benn, as NPR’s Peter Kenyon tells our Newscast unit.

He acknowledged, however, that a challenge may be unavoidable and said he is ready to chair Mr Corbyn’s campaign committee, as he did in last year’s leadership election.

“There will be no resignation of a democratically elected leader with a strong mandate from the membership, a spokesman for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told CNN”.

Labour MP Stephen Kinnock has also come out in support of the motion, accusing Mr Corbyn of a “lackluster [lackluster]” campaign.

The Brexit fallout continues.

Wilson said the “greatest betrayal and final straw” for him and many colleagues was evidence handed over by “unimpeachably neutral Labour in [for Britain] staff” that Corbyn’s office – “for which he must take full responsibility, consistently attempted to weaken and sabotage the Labour remain campaign”.

In a letter to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Powell wrote that his leadership of the party was “untenable” and that he was “unable to command the support” of the cabinet and country.

Two Labour politicians have submitted a motion of no confidence in Corbyn, which will be debated later this week.

Mr Corbyn was confronted by Labour Party activist Tom Mauchline at the Pride event, who shouted: “It’s your fault, Jeremy”.

But most others said it was time for Mr Corbyn to go.

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has suggested the Scottish Parliament could be able to keep Britain from leaving the European Union.

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, determined to keep Scotland inside the European Union, said on BBC that she would consider advising the Scottish Parliament not to give “legislative consent” to a British exit, or Brexit.

“It is for each individual to make their own decision, I have made mine and I made my views clear to Jeremy”.

“Those who want to change Labour’s leadership will have to stand in a democratic election, in which I will be a candidate”.

He tried to sack him in what was called a “revenge reshuffle”, but faced a shadow cabinet backlash and had to settle for exerting a number of loyalty pledges from him.
