Jeremy Corbyn faces an attempt by 200 of his MPs to end his Labour leadership after Brexit vote

As many as 200 Labour MPs are expected to back a no confidence motion in Jeremy Corbyn if it is called to a secret ballot on Tuesday June 28,2016

But asked today if he would contest any leadership contest that follows, Jeremy Corbyn told 'Yes. I'm here.'  

Brexit backer Labour MP Frank Field today called for Jeremy Corbyn to resign for the good of the party 

A motion of no confidence has been tabled against Jeremy Corbyn to be heard by the party next week.

 If accepted, it will be voted on Tuesday, when as many as 200 MPs could vote against Mr Corbyn.

However, the motion has no legal force, and Mr Corbyn's allies last night indicated he would try to brazen it out – leading Labour MPs to search for an alternative way to oust their leader.

The rules for removing a Labour leader are largely untested and designed to make it difficult for potential pretenders to seize the crown. Anyone wanting to mount a formal leadership challenge needs the public support of 51 Labour MPs and MEPs to trigger a contest.

Some MPs believe they could easily gather the names needed. But they are not united around a single candidate, and many fear Mr Corbyn would automatically be placed on the ballot paper – meaning his army of activists may well re-elect him.
