Jeremy Corbyn (inset, main and top right) was greeted by more than 1,000 supporters at a rally in Westminster backing his leadership last night (bottom right). He was accused of being 'in denial' during a brutal showdown with his own MPs tonight after he faced an extraordinary 45 resignations. The beleaguered Labour leader faced repeated demands to quit at a stormy hour-long session of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP). Around 20 spoke against him at the behind-closed doors meeting, with just two in his favour. Chris Bryant, who resigned as shadow Leader of the House earlier, said Mr Corbyn 'needed to go to Specsavers' if he could not see it was time to go. But the veteran left-winger insisted he was going nowhere - while aides said rebel MPs should 'put up' by triggering a leadership contest.

When Mr Cameron entered the Commons 3.26pm there were hysterical cheers from the Tory side. A minute later George Osborne beat the same path to the front bench. Silence. Mr Cameron showed humour and a hint of relief that he will soon be shot of high office. There was a hint of husky emotion in his voice as he delivered his opening speech but on the whole he kept things sunny.

At least eight leading Tory MPs were scrambling to cut backroom deals to succeed David Cameron last night after his departure from No10 was dramatically brought forward. Amid an announcement that Mr Cameron will be out of office by the start of September, the battle for the premiership exploded into life. Attempts to crown Boris Johnson in a 'coronation' fell flat when supporters of Home Secretary Theresa May made it clear she is determined to fight her old rival to the bitter end. The shortened timetable favours established politicians like Mr Johnson and Mrs May as it deprives lesser known candidates of the time to build momentum. Either could be Prime Minister in just nine weeks.

Speaking at the Treasury today Mr Osborne (pictured), who has been under fire for failing to speak out after the UK voted Leave, re-emerged three days after the referendum result as he tried to calm the turmoil in the worldwide markets. This afternoon the pound dropped below $1.32 (inset), its lowest level since 1985, and below the low it hit on Friday after the Brexit result came in. Mr Osborne admitted that it would 'not be plain sailing' and had not changed his mind about the warnings he made before the referendum about the consequences of leaving the EU. He also performed a U-turn on his threat to call an emergency budget if Britain voted Leave. He said: 'It was not the outcome that I wanted or that I threw everything into campaigning for. Now that the people have spoken, we in this democracy must all accept that result and deliver on their instructions'.

Picking a nutritious breakfast can be a bit of a minefield. Last week the London campaign group Action on Sugar revealed that almost half of 'healthy' breakfast bars contain the same - or even more - sugar than a bowl of Coco Pops. We're meant to have no more than 90g of sugar per day, of which only 25g (six teaspoons) should be so-called 'free' sugar - that is, added in the form of sugar, syrups honey, or juiced fruits. Here we assess 29 popular breakfast choices and rate them out of ten.

England fans turned their wrath on the team through the medium of internet memes after the Three Lions crashed out of the European Championships with the 2-1 defeat to Iceland. Goalkeeper Joe Hart and manager Roy Hodgson (right) came under fire while others mocked the post-Brexit petition (left) for a second referendum by creating another demanding a rematch. Hodgson has since resigned as manager in the wake of the humiliating loss.

While the UK shivers through unseasonal summer weather, Princess Beatrice, 27, has been cooling off in the sea in Monaco as she enjoys a sunshine break with her boyfriend Dave Clark, 32. Enjoying time off from her job in New York, she was seen stripping off her kaftan and plunging into the warm waters, wearing a skimpy mismatched bikini. The black bottoms and colourful green, pink and orange top showed off the royal's slim hourglass figure.

Wimbledon became something of a fairy tale story today as a Brit ranked 772 in the world stormed to victory - and is now set to face one of the greatest players of all time. For Marcus Willis, the Wimbledon dream is coming true. The 25-year-old from Slough was victorious against Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis in front of a patriotic crowd on No 17 Court - and sealed his win with a kiss from his former beauty queen girlfriend, dental surgeon Jennifer Bate.

The singer and Loose Women presenter said a man in uniform flew into a rage after she overtook him in her car on the way to the train station near her home. In a post on social media she said he shouted at her, 'Oh f*** off you stupid black b****, you lot are sickening', after she rushed past him. She said he had followed her to the station and then 'opened his car door in a rage' after she tried to apologise for overtaking. 'Scared, I grabbed my girls, and more or less ran toward the station & didn't look back,' she wrote.

Harry set up the charity after a visit to Lesotho, Africa on his gap year while singer Joss is an ambassador. A fundraising concert will take place at Kensington Palace on Tuesday night, and today the pair joined the Basotho Youth Choir for rehearsals in London. Harry was even given a hug from one young boy named Relebohile 'Mutsu' Potsane, who threw his arms around him in a spontaneous gesture (inset), before handing him presents including art, framed photos and hand-written letters. Harry and Mutsu first met more than ten years ago while Harry was on his gap year in Lesotho. Remarkably, given their very different lives, the pair have kept in close contact over the last decade, meeting up on most of Prince Harry's visits to Lesotho over the years.

A 50-year-old from Henan, central China, has wowed internet users after pictures of herself flaunting her toned body on a beach became viral. The mother of one says she keeps fit by swimming every day and going to the gym two to three times a week. In March, she swam across the straits of Malacca and plans to swim across the Han River in South Korea.

The 14-year-old (right) was found dead in the river in Hanwell, west London, in September 2014, about seven weeks after going missing. Her disappearance sparked one of the largest police searches ever carried out by the Metropolitan police (inset). Today, at an inquest into her death, the court was told how the schoolgirl was found by police in the foetal position. DNA suggested she was likely the victim of a 'serious sexual assault' by suspected killer Arnis Zalkalns (bottom left) while above normal traces of what may have been the drug Gamma-hydroxybutyrate - which is used for a sleeping disorder - were found in her body. The details emerged as Alice's mother admitted she was 'stunned' that her daughter's suspected killer was allowed in the country. Rosalind Hodgkiss (top left with Alice's father Jose Gross) said her daughter's devastating death had 'destroyed' her faith in the country's ability to protect its citizens.

It may cost in the region of £20,000 a month - but you are unlikely to have complaints about the neighbours. The Queen is renting out an apartment inside St James's Palace (pictured, right), number 29a, as the latest in a series of money-spinning enterprises. The apartment has been completely redecorated with new bathrooms, kitchens and carpets, at a cost to Buckingham Palace of £500,000, according to its annual financial review published today. They also reveal that an average journey on the Royal Train (pictured, left) costs £19,000, and Charles' income from the Duchy of Cornwall topped £20million for the first time.

Photos of the November 2003 raid of Michael Jackson's home by 70 members of the Santa Barbara County District Attorney's Office and Sheriff's Department show the pop star's large collection of mannequins. The photos shows almost all of Jackson's home, from the arcade room to his bedroom and the many life-size childlike mannequins he had throughout his Neverland Ranch. This raid also revealed for the first time the King of Pop's secret closet, hidden in the back of his bedroom and kept closed with three deadlocks. It was in here that he kept memorabilia like a signed photograph of Macaulay Culkin, who included the message: 'Don't leave me alone in the house.'

The great Glastonbury getaway has begun as bleary-eyed revellers battle through the sodden fields of Worthy Farm (left) after the muddiest festival in its 46-year history. More than 1,800 litter pickers are currently scouring the 1,000-acre grounds for rubbish as campers begin traipsing through fields which have been turned into quagmires by heavy rain. Dozens of vehicles have already had to be towed by tractors after getting trapped in mud (bottom right) as this morning's mass exodus took place. But not everyone was ready for the festival to end. As thousands left the Somerset site, several music fans curled up in their camping chairs and tried to recover from five days of partying (top right).

The 55-year-old TV presenter (left) bought the 1970s property in Somerset for £1.1million in 2007 and spent two years developing it. Sitting at the end of a wooded private lane, Vorderman - who is famous for winning the Rear of the Year title twice - designed it to be a 'curvy house'. The home has three bedrooms on the ground floor, which open onto the garden, while the first floor has two ensuite bedrooms and a balcony. Vorderman also changed the name of her property to Sloblock Hall, a near-anagram of 'all b******s', paying homage to a 1990s TV sketch. 'Sloblock' was a conundrum on A Bit of Fry & Laurie, which ridiculed Countdown, and it became a joke between Richard Whiteley and her on the show.

James Ord was a 13-year-old schoolboy growing up in Virginia when, he says, his grandfather took him aside and told him the extraordinary story of how his family had been tricked out of the British crown.

Jeremiah Mace, 65, of Hetton-le-Hole, Tyne and Wear, had been having explicit conversations with members of Dark Justice who track down men who are seeking sexual activity with underage girls. Mace, who was also having sickening chats with a vulnerable 15-year-old girl at the same time, was confronted by the group when he turned up to meet the girl in Newcastle city centre. The youngster, who sent Mace explicit pictures of herself engaging in a sexual act, was left 'suicidal' as a result of their contact and scared to walk the streets alone in case she bumped into him. He was arrested - and at Newcastle Crown Court, Mace pleaded guilty to attempting to meet a child after grooming, causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and making indecent photographs of a child.

A shirt stained with John Lennon's blood from the night he was murdered has sold for a whopping £31,000. Concierge Jay Hastings was wearing the white shirt (right) as part of his uniform at the Dakota building in New York when Lennon was shot by deranged fan Mark Chapman (pictured with Lennon, left). As the former Beatle stumbled through the door and collapsed Mr Hastings rushed to help him. While he tried to give him aid some of Lennon's blood soaked into his shirt which is still visible today on the chest and sleeves. The macabre piece of memorabilia which was sold on Saturday by the former porter smashed its £7,000 estimate. It was auctioned in Beverly Hills, California.

In desperation, they turned to their British allies to break the deadlock. An Anglo-French assault 125 miles north at the Somme, they reasoned, would relieve German pressure at Verdun, or 'the Mincing Machine', as fatalistic French soldiers called it. The man with the plan was General Douglas Haig. Scottish, diligent and deeply religious, he had been made commander of the British Expeditionary Force only months before. Haig entrusted the British assault to the 4th Army, under General Henry Rawlinson. Haig wanted to attack on August 15, to allow for more training, but his French opposite number yelled: 'There will be no French Army left!' The date was set for July 1. Among the troops, there was mounting excitement. One soldier wrote to his mother: 'I will be home by August Bank Holiday.' Central to the Allied plan was a week-long bombardment to destroy the German barbed wire, trenches and fortifications.

While Adele's bank balance may have swelled thanks to her new £85 million record deal, when the pop star took to the stage at Glastonbury this weekend all eyes were on her incredible shrinking waistline. The singer's new silhouette prompted viewers to praise her hourglass figure on social media - and ask just how she achieved it. Fascinatingly, the 28-year-old's trim midriff may owe more to the incredibly clever tailoring of her £4,500 designer dress than to her recent diet and exercise regime.

A flight from Malaga to Liverpool might take around three hours but this stunning time-lapse video has captured the journey in just two minutes. The condensed footage of the 1,154mile journey shows the incredible differences between the landscape and climate of the two cities. When the journey begins in Malaga, the sun is shining over the sea, but by the time the plane reaches Liverpool, the clouds look like they are gathered for rain.

Astronomers at Nottingham University used an infrared telescope on Hawaii to peer at a patch of the sky four times the size of the moon, detecting 250,000 galaxies. Many of the galaxies were more than nine billion light years way while hundreds were emitting light within the first billion years of the universe, making them among the earliest found. Astronomers hope the Ultra-Deep Survey, as the project is known, will help them to learn more about the formation and evolution of galaxies. The image on the left shows a section that account for just 0.4 per cent of the full image obtained by the survey (pictured right).

The heart-warming video shows adorable five-year-old girl Jenny guiding her blind father Nelson Pepe to work using a stick. Mr Pepe also known as 'Dodong' works on a coconut farm in the Philippines. He is paid about 300 pesos (AU$9) a day for climbing up to 60 coconut trees on the farm.

It's possible to produce amazing eye-tricking image on Photoshop, but Mother Nature can also rustle up incredible optical illusions, too - as these incredible images show. In fact, the planet is brimming with mind-boggling natural phenomena. One of the most baffling is the 'underwater vortex' in the Indian Ocean, where water appears to be flowing into a gigantic hole in the seabed. Then there's Blood Falls in Antarctica, which appears to be the horrific aftermath of a violent battle, with a red liquid cascading over the white Taylor Glacier. There is also a startling cloud formation that looks just like a UFO.
