JEREMY CORBYN came out fighting yesterday against the vote of no confidence in his leadership of the Labour Party, saying it had “no legitimacy” and vowing not to resign.
The leader hit back moments after the results of the secret ballot on the motion of no confidence were revealed, with 172 in favour and 40 against.
He said: “I was democratically elected leader of our party for a new kind of politics by 60 per cent of Labour members and supporters, and I will not betray them by resigning. Today’s vote by MPs has no constitutional legitimacy.
