Lincolnshire Labour MEP Rory Palmer says party leader Jeremy Corbyn must go immediately after his historic defeat.
Jeremy Corbyn (pictured) has said he will not lead Labour into the next election, following a "very disappointing night" for his party.
Mr Corbyn said he would stay on as leader during a "process of reflection" on the result, which a BBC forecast says will be its worst since 1935.
Never mind leading us into the next election, he shouldn't lead the Labour party into this weekend."

The political map of Lincolnshire from the Humber to the Wash is now a sea of blue.
Conservative gains in Great Grimsby and Scunthorpe were predicted by some opinion polls over the course of the campaign.
But as Labour’s “red wall” began to crumble during the night, it soon became clear history was in the making.
Labour’s dominance in Grimsby began 74 years ago when Clement Attlee was Prime Minister.
And although a previous version of the Scunthorpe constituency had been held by the Tories in the Thatcher era - the steel town felt like safe Labour territory in recent years.
The newly-elected Conservative MPs know their first priority will be to deliver Brexit.

A number of ousted Labour candidates, including Caroline Flint and Mary Creagh, blamed the party's failure to listen to people's views on Brexit for their demise.
The Conservatives have taken Great Grimsby from Labour for the first time since World War Two.
Lia Nici was elected MP with 18,150 votes, beating Labour's Melanie Onn with a 7,331 majority.
The Tory candidate overturned a 2,565 vote majority to oust Labour after 74 years.
Ms Nici said "the country is changing" and "it's an exciting time for the UK".
Christopher Barker of the Brexit Party came third and Liberal Democrat Ian Barfield came fourth.
Voter turnout was down by 3.7 percentage points since the last general election.
More than 33,000 people, 53.9% of those eligible to vote, went to polling stations across the area on Thursday, in the first December general election since 1923.
Three of the six candidates, Mr Barfield, Loyd Emmerson (Green) and Nigel Winn (independent) lost their £500 deposits after failing to win 5% of the vote.

Alan Wood was bound and tortured before he was killed in his Lincolnshire home, in October 2009.
Read moreDetectives investigating the death of a man who was brutally murdered 10 years ago say they have received new information following a recent appeal.
Alan Wood, 50, was bound and tortured before he was killed in his home in Lound, near Bourne, in October 2009.
Following an appeal on the 10th anniversary of his murder, Senior Investigating Officer, Martin Holvey, said: "A number of people have contacted us with information including people who didn't speak with us in 2009.
"We continue to work on information provided to us and we've been able to eliminate some names from the investigation where members of the public had suspicions about particular individuals."
He said they're also in the process of reviewing CCTV from 2009, showing a suspect using cash-points in Bourne and Stamford.
A reward of £50,000 has been offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

A homeless man has been taken to hospital after he was assaulted by two men yesterday evening.
The incident happened to the rear of Iceland on Garden Street (pictured) in Grimsby.
The suspects are thought to have attacked the man, who lives in a tent nearby, with a "blunt instrument".
He was left with injuries to his head, arms and back.
Police are appealing for witnesses.
People in Lincolnshire who are on the lookout for a new games console for Christmas are being warned about potentially dangerous fakes which are on sale in the county.
Lincolnshire Trading Standards officers have seized a number of fake Nintendo consoles being sold at £20, a quarter of their recommended price of £80.
But the low price is, according to experts, an indicator of how badly made the copies are.
Officers are warning that if it looks too good to be true, it could be dangerous:
We have had test reports where some of these consoles have been found to have problems with insulation of some of the electrical components. That means there's a potential the products could overheat and even cause a fire."
The RSPCA has criticised the use of snares after rescuing a fox from a trap in Lincolnshire.
The charity has criticised the traps "because of the suffering they cause, not only to animals like foxes that are often the target of such traps, but also to other animals like badgers and even domestic animals like cats".
RSPCA officers freed the fox from a field in North Scarle, on the Lincolnshire/Nottinghamshire border after a member of the public contacted them.
The trap hadn't caused any significant damage to the animal, according to the RSPCA.
The National Farmers Union (NF) says it's "crucial that farmers can control certain species for the benefit of agricultural production, animal husbandry, game management and the conservation of wildlife".
The NFU has a code of practice about the humane use of snares.

The Lincolnshire-based Red Arrows aerial display team is to be part of major national Armed Forces Day celebrations in Scarborough next year, it's been revealed.
The Armed Forces Day National Event will also include a parade of more than 1,000 active and retired service personnel.
The event, on 27 June, will be the first time the national celebration has been held in Yorkshire.
A Scarborough Borough Council report's laid out the first details of the event honouring of the country’s military, with more than 100,000 people expected to visit the area on 27 June.
The authority estimates the cost of hosting the event, usually attended by members of the Royal family and the Prime Minister, will be more than £500,000 - a cost which the council hopes to offset through sponsorship.
Glitter-covered Christmas cards and other glittery items should not be put in the recycling bin once the festive season is over, a council is warning.
Lincolnshire County Council says the sparkly addition to cards and gift wrap makes the recycling of paper products impossible.
The county's waste and recycling service is also urging people to avoid leaving grub and grease in recycling to avoid contaminating the rest of the bin's contents.
Chronic pain sufferers in Lincolnshire are being urged to consider using new approaches to help deal with their conditions.
The East Lincolnshire area has the highest level of opioid prescribing in the whole country and is now being targeted by a new NHS health awareness campaign.
The campaign aims to promote alternative approaches such as talking therapies and lifestyle changes.
Richard Pell, a member of the team delivering the NHS community Pain Management service for Lincolnshire, says there has been an over-reliance on painkillers.
He says: "We need to look to more than just tablets, medicines, injections and surgery. A more up-to-date understanding of pain really acknowledges it's about more than just biology.
"It's about the psychological and social components of living with long-term pain or conditions."
The PM was criticised after refusing to look at a photo of a boy being treated on the floor of a Leeds hospital - here's what happened.
The number of children arrested by Lincolnshire Police has fallen by 61% in the last seven years, the force has revealed.
The figures have been released by the Howard League for Penal Reform and show the force made 745 arrests of children aged 17 and under last year - down from 1,911 in 2011.
Assistant Ch Con Kerrin Wilson said: “This is good news. It shows our effective work with partners is making real positive change for the children we deal with and, ultimately, giving them a chance for the future.
"We have a chance to engage young minds and offer people an alternative, which will hopefully lead them towards making good choices rather than entering the system and committing more and more crimes of escalating severity."

Boris Johnson is touring Brexit-voting Labour-held seats in Humberside and north-east England, with three days to go before polling day.
He started the day at a fish market in Grimsby, one of a number of longstanding Labour constituencies that voted heavily to leave the EU in the 2016 referendum that both the Conservatives and the Brexit Party are targeting.
Great Grimsby has been a Labour seat for more than 70 years, with Melanie Onn securing a majority of 2,565 in 2017.

Lincolnshire County Council has selected a new chief executive following the resignation of Keith Ireland.
Mr Ireland left in November 2018 after a "difference of opinion" with council leader Martin Hill.
Debbie Barnes, the executive director of children’s services, was chosen as his successor yesterday.
The recommendation will go to full council for a final decision on Wednesday.
A council spokesman said a recruitment process to fill Mrs Barnes existing post will start once she is confirmed by members.

Read moreRepairs to riverbanks in Lincolnshire which burst three and a half weeks ago are now under way.
The Barlings Eau burst its banks after heavy rainfall in the first weekend of November.
About 1,500 acres of farmland were flooded as a result, forcing farmers to use boats to reach their cut-off homes (pictured).
The Environment Agency (EA) says engineers are installing pilings to plug the breach in the river, then water will be pumped off the land before the bank is rebuilt using clay and soil.
Meanwhile, repairs are also under way at the Timberland Delph, another waterway which broke its banks in a village near Woodhall Spa after heavy rain.
The agency also say it's been inspecting flood defences across the county and making repairs to anything which felt the strain of excessive rain.
The EA says this autumn's rainfall was double the usual average and set record water levels on the Rivers Witham and Ancholme.
Despite the extreme rainfall that pushed our rivers to their limits – and the fact that a third of Lincolnshire is below sea level – the vast majority of homes, businesses and land has remained safe from flooding. In fact, less than 1% of the county’s agricultural land has been affected."
Lincolnshire's sprout crop has been unaffected by this year's heavy rain in the county, according to one of the county's food producers.
Staff at TH Clements near Boston, who harvest the sprout crop, say they were worried heavy rain this summer may have affected the crop.
Heavy rainfall caused flooding in nearby Wainfleet in June.
But staff say conditions since then have been perfect sprout growing weather and are in action ahead of the Christmas rush right now:
Lots come from Lincolnshire. In the run-up to Christmas, we'll do about 2,000 tonnes of sprouts in about 10 days.
Funding for transport in Lincolnshire and the East Midlands is lower than anywhere else in the UK, a new report suggests.
Centre-left think tank IPPR North has analysed HM Treasury figures for 2018-19.
Treasury data shows that in 2018-19, £903 was spent in the capital for every resident, while the figure for the East Midlands was £268 and £276 in Yorkshire and the Humber.
The data included all public spending and was based on the number of residents in each region.
IPPR North's interim director Arianna Giovannini said: "Sometimes there is an argument that goes along the lines of, 'There are more people in London and there are a lot of people travelling in London and commuting in London', but our point is not that London should get less, it's not an 'either or' argument."
The government said its spending decisions were "rigorous and fair" and said the figures did not include money for future projects like HS2.
The Department for Transport pointed to explanations about the Treasury's figures, indicating London's higher spending included capital investment from Transport for London, and did not account for commuters and visitors from outside the city.

The new HQ, at RAF Waddington, will join the two teams together at the same site for the first time.
A £1.8m grant from the government has been given to help in its construction.
Work building the new HQ should be completed by the end of next year.
Our new base will give us security of tenure, as well as the space and facility to further develop our life-saving service.

Currently, people have to opt in to become an organ donor, but from next spring everyone will be considered unless they've opted out.

At the moment more than 6,000 people in the UK as a whole are hoping for a donor, including 185 children.
Over 100 arrests have been made since Lincolnshire Police launched a new anti-knife crime campaign, it's been revealed
A total of 122 weapons have been recovered as a result of the campaign, according to the force, with 77 being seized by officers and 45 voluntarily handed in to the police.
The figures for what's known as Operation Raptor have been released just days after three knife crimes in 24 hours in Boston.
Supt Lee Pache said: "Operation Raptor has made a real impact so far and the numbers of arrests and weapons seized demonstrate this is a top priority for us."
People can still hand in weapons at any of the four main stations in the county: Lincoln, Grantham, Boston and Skegness.
