UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has threatened to deselect MPs who are challenging his leadership, in case he remains the party head after the upcoming vote.
Speaking at the launch of his election campaign on Thursday, Corbyn implied that he may replace the rebellious MPs in the next general election as a result of the boundary changes that are taking place.
Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan says the movement affiliated to US-based opposition cleric Fethullah Gulen would be treated as “another separatist terrorist organization” in the wake of last Friday’s failed coup attempt against his government. Erdoğan said the death toll from the failed coup attempt had risen to 246 people, excluding the coup plotters, and that 2,185 people had sustained injuries.
