As I went to vote for the motion of no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, I met another Labour MP, one of my more Left-wing colleagues. She was in tears.

“I never ever thought I would have to vote to get rid of a leader of the Labour Party,” she said, “but he just has to go, for the sake of the party and the country.”

Despite that reluctance, 172 MPs voted for him to go. He now has the support of just 40.

That’s not enough to fill a double decker bus and it’s nowhere near the 95 he needs for a full frontbench team.
