Brexit: 'Half' of Labour top team set to resign

It comes after shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn was sacked overnight after telling Mr Corbyn he had "lost confidence" in his leadership.

Hours later, shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander said she would resign.

Mr Corbyn faces a vote of no confidence over claims he was "lacklustre" during the EU referendum - but sources close to Mr Corbyn said he would stand again.
