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.
