At least 200 senior figures in the party say its 'institutionalised antisemitism is worse than ever'.

The response has sparked a furious backlash - including from two of the whistleblowers who claim it was defamatory, and notable Labour figures.

It comes as Labour staffers who belong to the GMB union announced plans to force the branch to formally back the whistleblowers and condemn attempts to label them as"politically motivated". Mr Corbyn has already faced pressure from his shadow foreign secretary not to target the whistleblowers."We shouldn't be going for the messengers, we should be listening to the message," Emily Thornberry said on Sunday.He has previously said there were"many, many inaccuracies" in the BBC programme, adding that it had"adopted a pre-determined position on its own website before it was broadcast".

Meanwhile, senior Labour peers have offered to investigate the allegations of antisemitism and warned Mr Corbyn that the"cancer" will"continue to grow" without full openness on the issue.

Otherwise it’s bluster.

Dithering Corbyn is rotten to the core, says NICK FERRARIIT’S ONLY taken three years, but the smoke has cleared and Labour has its policy concerning Brexit – and it has to be ultimate betrayal of the party’s working-class roots. Bit like the Tory cabinet I might have been surprised had I not been a listener of LBC for a number of years.The wall to wall Corbyn bashing by him & the other LBC Churnalists, became so predictable & boring that it just sounded like it was one show on a continuous loop. Glad I stopped listening. Boring
