David Cameron roars at Jeremy Corbyn to resign: 'For heaven's sake, man, go!'
With Britain roiling in the wake of the Brexit vote last week, Prime Minister David Cameron's frustration boiled over during Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday with Cameron shouting at the Labour Party leader to resign.
"For heaven's sake man, go!" Cameron roared at Jeremy Corbyn as the Tory benches erupted into cheers.
Corbyn lost his no-confidence vote Tuesday. Shortly after the vote, the Labour Party released a statement accepting the motion that it "has no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn as Leader," adding to pressure for Corbyn to step down. Corbyn, however, has vowed he would not resign.

"There are people around Jeremy who are prepared to see the Labour Party split rather than for him to go," Dame Margart Beckett, who nominated Corbyn for the Labour leadership last year, told Radio 4. "That is anathema to everybody who thinks that we need to get rid of this Government and the damage that they are doing."
