A group of Labour MPs have written to Jeremy Corbyn after Monday night's PLP meeting, criticising the response of general secretary Jennie Formby and demanding that tomorrow's Shadow Cabient is given a vote on the motion passed at last week's PLP demanding answers to a series of questions over the party's handling of the antisemitism crisis.

The letter says: "It is not acceptable for the Leadership to have ignored the expressed unanimous view and request of the Parliamentary Labour Party."

It also asks Mr Corbyn to respond by Wednesday.
