Brexit: Labour revolt as four quit top team, one sacked


Four Labour shadow cabinet members have quit, and more resignations are expected, in protest at Jeremy Corbyn's leadership over the EU referendum.

They are Heidi Alexander, Ian Murray, Gloria de Piero and Lillian Greenwood.

It follows shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn's sacking after he told Mr Corbyn he had "lost confidence" in him.

Mr Corbyn faces a vote of no confidence following a "lacklustre" EU campaign but shadow chancellor John McDonnell said he "wasn't going anywhere".
