0:00:15 > 0:00:17In the past hour, Rhondda MP Chris Bryant

0:00:17 > 0:00:21has become the latest member of Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet

0:00:21 > 0:00:26to resign in protest at Mr Corbyn's leadership over the EU referendum.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29It comes as fellow Welsh Labour MP, Stephen Kinnock, warned the party

0:00:29 > 0:00:32will suffer heavy losses, if Mr Corbyn leads it

0:00:32 > 0:00:37into a general election this year.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40As speculation about Jeremy Corbyn's leadership reaches fever pitch

0:00:40 > 0:00:43in Westminster, in Wales too, Labour MPs have been

0:00:43 > 0:00:45making their feelings known.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49One of them was among the first to support a call of no confidence

0:00:49 > 0:00:50in the party's leader last week.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53With speculation of a general election by the end of the year,

0:00:53 > 0:00:57there are fears that Labour could lose scores of MPs.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01We have to ensure that we go into that general election with a leader

0:01:01 > 0:01:05who is right in the context of a post-Brexit referendum

0:01:05 > 0:01:07United Kingdom and that is the point.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11The job description has changed.

0:01:11 > 0:01:12The mandate that Jeremy got from the membership

0:01:12 > 0:01:21when he was elected was in a political time.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24when he was elected was in a different political time.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25Last year, Jeremy Corbyn was voted as

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Labour leader with an overwhelming majority.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29He is undoubtedly popular among party activists and some

0:01:29 > 0:01:31grassroots members in Wales say MPs need to remember that.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34I think for some people, this has given the

0:01:34 > 0:01:36opportunity that they've wanted for a while really to challenge

0:01:36 > 0:01:37Jeremy's leadership.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40I think some very hard questions need to be asked as to

0:01:40 > 0:01:42whether those MPs can continue to reflect and represent

0:01:42 > 0:01:44the views of party members and of their

0:01:44 > 0:01:46constituents in general and I do really think they need

0:01:46 > 0:01:48to be held to account much more robustly

0:01:48 > 0:01:50than they have been up to now.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Following last week's referendum result, there are wider concerns

0:01:53 > 0:01:55in Wales that the party is no longer

0:01:55 > 0:01:59in tune with its core supporters in its former heartlands.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Unless we reconnect with our working-class voters then

0:02:02 > 0:02:05we are in trouble as a political party.

0:02:05 > 0:02:11Here, we did not listen to them and they were not

0:02:11 > 0:02:12listening to us. to them and they were not

0:02:12 > 0:02:15We need to get a much better mode of communication,

0:02:15 > 0:02:16be listening mode and then act.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Acting on those concerns might be easier said than done.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22And with UKIP knocking at the door and gaining support in Labour's

0:02:22 > 0:02:26heartlands at last year's general election, another vote by the end

0:02:26 > 0:02:31of the year could be bad news for the party.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34The First Minister, Carwyn Jones, says the Welsh Assembly should not

0:02:34 > 0:02:37seek to block the UK's exit from the EU.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39It follows comments by Scottish First Minister,

0:02:39 > 0:02:44Nicola Sturgeon, that the Parliament in Edinburgh could challenge

0:02:44 > 0:02:45the Brexit vote there.

0:02:45 > 0:02:50Unlike Wales, Scotland voted to remain in the EU.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Tata Steel says no bidders have pulled out of trying

0:02:53 > 0:02:56to buy its UK operations, including its Port Talbot site,

0:02:56 > 0:02:57following the Brexit vote.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01It follows reports that some potential buyers may withdraw

0:03:01 > 0:03:06due to the UK's decision to leave the EU.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Did you ever think that Wales would get this far?

0:03:41 > 0:03:44No, I thought we were going to go out in the groups.

0:03:44 > 0:03:44The win wasn't pretty

0:03:44 > 0:03:47but an own goal was enough to see Wales through.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51And this is how they celebrated in the dressing room.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56Joe Ledley doing what he does best.
