Luciana Berger has resigned from her role in the Labour shadow cabinet, as the frontbench revolt against Jeremy Corbyn continues.

Ms Berger had been Shadow Minister for Mental Health but joined the more than 20 Labour figures to quit following the EU Referendum result.

In her resignation letter to Mr Corbyn, she wrote that Labour needed a leader “who can unite our party, both in Parliament and in the country.

“I have always served the Labour Party and our leader with loyalty. Having listened closely to local party members, loyalty to the party must come first.”
