Ms Green's letter of resignation, which she tweeted this afternoon

Ms Green is one of 20 shadow cabinet members to sensationally quit over Mr Corbyn's EU campaign efforts, which have been described as 'lacklustre'.

The party was plunged into turmoil following the referendum's Leave result on Friday.

The resignations follow a meeting this morning where Mr Corbyn was urged to step down.
