Thousands Rally to Support U.K. Opposition Leader Corbyn as He Faces No-Confidence Vote
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In London, thousands of people rallied outside Parliament to show
support for opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, who faces a no-confidence
vote amid a revolt within his own Labour Party after Britain voted to
leave the European Union. Addressing supporters, Corbyn called for unity
against racism.

Jeremy Corbyn: "One of the horrible disfigurements of our society is
racism, is intolerance, and the violence that's often associated with
it. And sadly, this has increased over the last few days. Can we all
agree we are going to unite together as one people, one society, one
community to oppose racism?"

Britain's vote to leave the EU continues to send shock waves throughout
the global economy. On Monday, Standard & Poor's downgraded the U.K.'s
credit rating from the perfect score of AAA down to AA.
