Sure, Corbyn is within his rights to sack them for defying him. It's his choice of this as a sacking offense that concerns me. If I were in England (n.b. I'm not considering Scotland, where things are different), I'd be looking for a party that actually welcomes the 48% (or whatever it was) who voted against Brexit, and which is capable - see previous reference to 48% - of winning more than 12 seats.
