Corbyn Sees Further U.K. Labour Splits as Three Spokesmen Quit

Three members of the U.K. Labour Party’s team of spokesmen resigned in protest Wednesday after leader Jeremy Corbyn carried out a reshuffle in an attempt to impose his authority on lawmakers. The moves are a sign of continuing splits in the main opposition to Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservatives.

Kevan Jones, Stephen Doughty and Jonathan Reynolds quit over policy differences and the treatment of others fired by Corbyn, who made changes to what’s known as the shadow cabinet to allow a fellow opponent of nuclear weapons to take on the defense brief and to punish what he saw as disloyalty. Jones cited Corbyn’s security policies in a direct attack on his credibility.
