Britain’s Prime Minister, David Cameron, speaking in parliament on Wednesday has said that it was not in the national interest for Jeremy Corbyn to remain in his post as the leader of the Labour Party.

For heaven’s sake man, go. It might be in my party’s interest for him to sit there, it’s not in the national interest.

Cameron’s unusually blunt comments illustrate the pressure Corbyn is under to quit after Britain voted to leave the EU following a campaign in which critics say Corbyn did not do enough to persuade voters to back ‘Remain’.

Earlier, an overwhelming majority of Labour lawmakers passed a no confidence motion in Jeremy Corbyn on Tuesday and almost all his senior policy team had withdrawn their support to protest his leadership.

However, Corbyn has vowed to fight to retain control of the Labour party after the stiff opposition against him.
