Labour MP Sarah Champion Unresigns From Jeremy Corbyn’s Frontbench

“I want Owen (Smith) and Jeremy and everybody to say “let’s stop this now”.

Speaking on Saturday, Mr Corbyn condemned abuse among members, saying “it has no place in our party”.

His warning came as Mr Smith said Mr Corbyn and shadow chancellor John McDonnell’s aides breached parliamentary privilege if they entered a Labour MP’s House of Commons office without permission.

The leadership battle is set to intensify in the coming weeks, after a huge number of people paid £25 to become registered supporters so that they can vote in the contest.

“By not allowing as many members as possible to have the opportunity to attend a hustings, we risk disenfranchising numerous people who have joined our movement since the last general election”.

“My wife stood recently for a community councillor position in the village where we live in South Wales and was subject to a torrent of online abuse”.

However, despite this, many reported belief that Corbyn retains strong support among party members, and just over one in four said they believed that their local members would also back the Pontypridd MP’s leadership bid.

“If you are a registered supporter or affiliated supporter and you engage in abusive behaviour, you will not get a vote in this leadership election”.

Now she has written to Corbyn to ask to return.

A Labour MP who quit Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet last month has been reinstated after she “unresigned” back to her old post.

“I have discovered that members of staff working for John McDonnell [shadow chancellor] and Corbyn have gained unauthorised entry into my office in Parliament”.

“But I don’t know enough about the details”.

Ms Malhotra resigned as shadow chief secretary to the Treasury last month in protest at Mr Corbyn’s leadership and is now backing leadership challenger Owen Smith.

A spokesman for Jeremy Corbyn encouraged other senior Labour MPs who quit as part of the rebellion to come back to the front bench.

The resignations followed a no confidence vote in Mr Corbyn among MPs and were an attempt to force him to step down.

The university’s Labour History Research Unit asked 350 councillors in the 125 seats most narrowly won and lost by Labour at the 2015 general election.

“Without winning elections and Labour being a serious party and government again, all the principles are just hot air if we can’t put them into practice winning power to exercise it on behalf of people call what’s the point of being in this game”.
