Labour MPs Have Submitted A No Confidence Motion Against Jeremy Corbyn

After the UK voted to leave the EU, two Labour MPs have submitted a motion of no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn.

The Labour leader is facing increasing pressures to resign from his position of leader of the party.

BBC reports that Margaret Hodge and Ann Coffey have confirmed the move in a letter to the chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party.

This triggers a discussion at the next Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) meeting on Monday.

The motion itself has no constitutional force, though the decision regarding whether or not it will be debated lies in the hands of the PLP chairman.

It looks as though if this motion is accepted, Labour MPs will be faced with a secret ballot on Tuesday.

Whether you voted In or Out, it's obvious that this result has had absolutely huge repercussions for all of British politics.
