UK Labour peers pause plan for no confidence vote in leader Corbyn - source

The leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, will not immediately face a symbolic no-confidence vote from members of his own party in the upper chamber of parliament, a source with knowledge of a meeting on the matter said on Monday. Labour's representatives in the House of Lords decided at a private meeting to "park" that idea of calling a no-confidence vote in their leader, the source said.

Last week, peers were unhappy at Corbyn's decision to sack a senior Labour spokesman from her role in the Lords. That, combined with unhappiness at his handling of anti-Semitism complaints within the party, had raised the prospect of a no-confidence vote. The symbolic vote, which would not trigger a formal process to unseat Corbyn, could still be considered at a later date.
