Sunday, September 25, 2016 Corbyn confirms grip on Britain’s Labour PartyNewly re-elected opposition Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, speaks during Labour’s women’s conference on the eve of the Labour Party annual conference, in Liverpool. LIVERPOOL — Jeremy Corbyn was re-elected leader of Britain’s opposition Labour Party yesterday and called for unity after ending a “coup” by more centrist lawmakers who say his left-wing agenda can never deliver victory at the polls. His victory marks the next phase in a battle for control of the Labour Party. Tens of thousands more new members have flocked to Labour since Corbyn was elected, many of them young and enthusiastic. Centrist lawmakers say now they need to take stock, with some pushing to regain some control of the party machinery and boost groups promoting more centre-left policies.
