Is there something in the Labour Party Rules that says Corbyn can't be ousted by a vote of no confidence from his own Party?

He is the one thing standing in the way of a different progress - as I understand it, only he can call a vote of no confidence in the current government and definitely have it approved (others can try, but the Speaker needn't give heed to the request), but no-one wants Corbyn to lead a Government of National Unity (which he is currently insisting on), so his call for a vote of no confidence won't be supported by enough MPs to be carried.
Give Labour a new leader (hence my first question) and there may be a chance. A slim may but at least there might then be some sort of effective Opposition.
Lack of a proper Opposition for the past x years is what has brought us to where we are now.

I do.
I can never forgive Cameron for starting this.
I want to think May tried her best, but given she was the one who triggered Article 50 without a plan then left it until the last minute before proper negotiation (and her previous on not exactly being 'for the people') I can't.
We all knew what we'd get with Boris, so personally I fear all is now lost.
Boris, Trump and Farage. The Unholy Trinity.
So we are left with four groups -
- The "just get it done" group
- The sore losers, who won't accept the referendum result
- The "have their cake and eat it" group, which won't leave until we have a deal with the EU that doesn't accept any of the EU conditions of a deal
- The group that doesn't care whether we leave or not as long as they get into power, which contains Corbyn and his cronies
The only one of these that is implementing the will of the British people, as voted for in the referendum, is the first. Perhaps it is time to accept that decision and try to make a success of it.

<unsubstantiated conclusion>
Why, now the terms of leaving have been determined, are the leavers afraid of a referendum confirming the original (advisory) referendum?
We voted for this parliament in 2017, more recently than the referendum - why should the latest version of the will of the people, as represented by their choice of MPs, be trumped (!) by a previous expression of that will?
Mrs Royal then calls in the next largest party guv'nor and offers him/her/it the chance to form a functional administration. If that can't work, then it's General Election time and the lie quota rockets faster than a Saturn V taking off.
Or have I had this wrong for too long, and need that quiet rest home in the country?

Keep up the good work!
The answer was clear. We had tried the EU for far too long (remember the Common Agricultural Policy for the benefit of French farmers, and the total lack of believable accounts) and the Great British Public had had enough.
'Deal or no deal' was a subsequent gloss being used by the Remainers to try to wreck the original decision. And 'project fear' has not yet gone away.
