Criticism of Jeremy Corbyn over his leadership of the opposition Labour Party has exploded into a mass revolt in the wake of the Brexit referendum.
Labour spokespeople on business, energy and pensions all resigned from the shadow cabinet on Monday along with at least 25 others, adding to 12 departures on Sunday. A no-confidence motion, tabled last week by Ann Coffey and Margaret Hodge, is set to be discussed at a meeting of Labour lawmakers Monday evening before a vote on Tuesday. Corbyn has vowed to carry on as party leader.
