Eight members of the UK Labour party have resigned

Jeremy Corbyn has refused to answer questions from reporters, as he left his north London home this afternoon, about the crisis engulfing his leadership of the UK Labour Party.

He has now lost nine members of his shadow cabinet, after he fired Hilary Benn - and eight members of his top team decided to resign over his handling of the British EU referendum.

Lillian Greenwood explains why she's stepped down from her post as Shadow Transport Secretary: “Jeremy good person, decent person and principled person that he is, isn’t capable of offering the leadership that our party needs and more importantly isn’t capable of the leadership needed to unite our party.”
