		</div><p>Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is facing a full scale revolt by his top team as a string of shadow ministers quit in protest at his leadership during the EU referendum campaign.</p>
<p>Shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander, shadow minister for young people Gloria De Piero and shadow Scottish secretary Ian Murray have all resigned.</p>
<p>Labour sources said shadow transport secretary Lilian Greenwood, shadow Commons leader Chris Bryant and shadow environment secretary Kerry McCarthy are among a group of at least 10 members of Labour&#8217;s top team who are expected to follow.</p>
<p>The walkouts were triggered by the sacking overnight of shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn amid reports that he was working to co-ordinate a coup against Mr Corbyn.</p>
<p>Shadow chancellor John McDonnell, one of Mr Corbyn&#8217;s closest allies, insisted the leader has no intention of bowing to the demands to go.</p>
<p>&#8220;Jeremy&#8217;s not going anywhere,&#8221; he told the BBC&#8217;s Sunday Politics.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was elected nine months ago, the biggest mandate of any political leader in our country, and he is not going anywhere.&#8221;</p>
<p>But rebel MPs warned that Mr Corbyn would be unable to form a new shadow ministerial team if he tries to struggle on.</p>
<p>Ms Alexander said there are &#8220;a fair number&#8221; of other senior Labour figures considering their positions.</p>
<p>Asked how many could join her in resigning, she told ITV1&#8217;s Peston on Sunday: &#8220;I think that there are a fair number of people who do feel similarly to me.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know a lot of my colleagues will be asking themselves similar questions to the one I&#8217;ve asked myself this morning.&#8221;</p>
