Labour MPs reject rumours of challenge to Corbyn
LABOUR MPs dismissed yesterday the prospects of an imminent challenge to Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the party.
Reports in the right-wing media suggested that Mr Corbyn could face shadow cabinet resignations or even a leadership election if Labour performs poorly in Thursday’s elections in Scotland, Wales and English local authorities.
But the speculation was dismissed by Ian Wright, a backbench MP who supported Andy Burnham in Labour’s last leadership election, when asked about it on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
