Jeremy Corbyn faces leadership challenge as MPs table motion of no confidence after 'half-hearted' Remain campaign Senior Labour MPs have tabled a motion of no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn ’s leadership. The motion, to be voted on as soon as Tuesday, presents the first serious challenge to Jeremy Corbyn ’s leadership. It’s been submitted to the Parliamentary Labour Party chairman by Margaret Hodge and Ann Coffey, according to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg. This morning Jeremy Corbyn strongly denied he would step down as leader of the Labour party, after facing criticism for his "half-hearted" campaigning in the referendum. Dame Margaret Hodge urged Mr Corbyn to "do the decent thing" and stand down in the way that David Cameron had. "The European referendum was a test of leadership and I think Jeremy failed that test," she told Sky News. "He came out too slowly, he was very half-hearted about his attempts to campaign and Labour voters simply didn't get the message." Mr Corbyn told Sky he’d made a case for Britain to stay in the EU to reform it.

That doesn’t change the agenda on workers rights. It doesn’t change the agenda on the environment or humans rights and other things. “It does mean we have a very urgent economic challenge to deal with.” Asked whether he’s out of kilter with the thousands of Labour voters who went on to vote Leave despite his campaigning, he said he addressed the issue of immigration with a “harmonisation of workers rights across the continent.” Host Dermot Murnaghan said the Labour leader was accusing his supporters of having “false consciousness” - he told them what was good for them, and they said “no, we don’t believe you.” Corbyn responded by making a comment about Murnaghan’s “psychological analysis” of his position. He went on to claim Britain leaving the EU wasn’t “cataclysmic”, and said it was time to accept the decision and “move on.” https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDIsSVv9p2RVUmSVSuBuxVw Page:https://www.facebook.com/Make-Money-Online-KH-572285112912468/?ref=hl Website:http://powerofteam.net/
