'Your team lied, spun and appointed a defence spokeswoman who knows nothing about defence': Three shadow ministers walk out on Corbyn after shambolic reshuffle

Kevan Jones resigned, right in Westminster today, as shadow armed forces minister insisting his boss, Maria Eagle, had been replaced by Emily Thornberry, inset bottom, against her will - and accused Mr Corbyn's team of spinning the news. Mr Jones was the third resignation handed to Mr Corbyn, pictured at his home inset top, today. He followed shadow rail minister Jonathan Reynolds, left outside Parliament today, and shadow foreign minister Stephen Doughty - who resigned live on the BBC - out of Labour's front bench team. Mr Doughty claimed Mr Corbyn's team had made statements which were 'lies' about the reasons for sacking Europe minister Pat McFadden.
