Jeremy Corbyn loses 'no confidence' vote among Labour MPs by 172 to 40

Jeremy Corbyn has lost a no-confidence vote among Labour MPs.

The party’s parliamentarians voted 172 to 40 against Mr Corbyn’s leadership in a secret ballot on Tuesday afternoon. There were four spoilt ballots in the contest, while 13 MPs did not vote.

Mr Corbyn immediately responded to the vote by saying he would not resign, suggesting to do so would be a "betrayal" of the members who elected him by a landslide last year .... http://www.independent.co.uk
