Jeremy Corbyn could be deposed as Labour leader within days after two MPs formally tabled a motion of no confidence in him.
Margaret Hodge and Ann Coffey's demand will be discussed at the Parliamentary Labour Party's next meeting on Monday evening and a vote could be held as early as Tuesday.
Sources close to the Labour rebels said the move would trigger a straight yes/no vote on whether MPs held confidence in Mr Corbyn, with a leadership content being launched if a majority said no.
However Mr Corbyn's team are unsure about whether the no confidence motion is actually allowed in the rule books and are now rapidly trying to work out where they stand.
The chaotic scenes happened amid fury from pro-EU Labour MPs over Mr Corbyn's failure to persuade more supporters to vote Remain in the wake of yesterday's Brexit vote.

Eventually Sadiq Khan will be the Labour leader, only a matter of time.
Looks like Labor(Liberals) are seeing elitist/establishment in their own ranks . Oh the shame of it!
Yup. Good call.
I think Jeremy Corbyn is the best leader the Labour Party has ever had!
That would be a damn shame. Corbyn has been one of the best Labour leaders — for the Conservatives, that is.
Labour’s working class voters abandoned the party and voted in droves for Brexit.
Hartlepool delivered a blowout margin for Brexit - a Labour stronghold and that’s when the writing was on the wall.
Labour’s base repudiated its own leadership.
In the UK to “table a motion” means to put it forward for consideration, while in the USA it means to set it aside without considering it.
That was the plan from the beginning.
The same thing goes for the Tories. They have some egg on their face too, hence Cameron’s resignation. The new government will be led by Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage. Let that sink in...Nigel Farage has a chance to be the Prime Minister of England...that’s something that was a wet dream for anti-globalist 20 years ago.
The vote was a repudiation of both big parties (Conservative and Labour) and their current leaders.
Peter Hitchens blog comments today included the notion that both major parties should be replaced by a Brexit government although he doubted it could happen.
