Jeremy Corbyn Loses No-Confidence Vote Among Labour MPs
-------------------------------------------------------

In Britain, Parliament members with the opposition Labour Party have
passed a no-confidence motion against leader Jeremy Corbyn. The vote
against Corbyn was 172 to 40. Corbyn has faced a coup within his own
party following Britain's vote to exit the European Union. But Corbyn's
supporters say his rivals are using the Brexit vote as a pretext to oust
him over his left-leaning stances. Tuesday's no-confidence vote against
Corbyn is not binding, but Labour leaders are expected to mount a bid to
replace him.
