British Labor party leader Jeremy Corbyn “faces a coup this week by members of his shadow cabinet, led by Hilary Benn,” the Observer reports.
“It is understood that the shadow foreign secretary called fellow MPs over the weekend to suggest that he will ask Corbyn to stand down if there is significant support for a move against the leader. He has also asked shadow cabinet colleagues to join him in resigning if the Labor leader ignores that request.”
