London (PTI): UK's embattled Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn was on Saturday again pressurised to step down with a former Labour Party leader calling on him to "do his duty and resign".

Lord Neil Kinnock said Labour MPs were "doing the clear and honest thing when they are so fundamentally alarmed by the prospects of the party."

He told BBC: "If he has any sense of political team spirit, he should do his duty and resign". Corbyn has not stepped down despite losing a no-confidence vote of MPs.

Labour Deputy leader Tom Watson is seeking a meeting with Corbyn's team to find a way of negotiating a settlement to resolve the crisis within the Opposition since last week's Brexit vote.

Former shadow business secretary Angela Eagle is expected to mount a challenge to become party leader by early next week and former shadow work and pensions secretary Owen Smith is also reported to be considering a bid.
