Labour leader under pressure after MPs quit

The future of opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn looked shaky on Sunday after seven members of his top team quit and others seemed set to follow over his handling of Britain's EU referendum.

Corbyn's allies said he had no intention of resigning, but the veteran socialist is facing a revolt over concerns that he is ill-equipped to deal with the fallout from Britain's seismic decision to quit the bloc.

"He's a good and decent man but he is not a leader, and that's the problem," Labour MP Hilary Benn told BBC television after being sacked as foreign affairs spokesman late on Saturday for challenging Corbyn's leadership.
