Later today, the shadow cabinet is due to meet to discuss anti-Semitism amid criticism of the party’s handling of allegations within its ranks.
It comes as polling showed a decline in the popularity of Jeremy Corbyn among party members. The Times said 43% of 1,100 party members surveyed feel Mr Corbyn is doing a bad job and that confidence in his leadership has fallen by 24 points since March last year.
Seventy percent said anti-Semitism is a “genuine” problem, more than half were dissatisfied with the way he has handled Brexit, and one in four wanted him to step down immediately, the YouGov poll found.
Mr Corbyn will face MPs as he addresses a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party on Monday. Labour peers are also due to discuss a motion of no confidence in Mr Corbyn, with a ballot to be held on Tuesday or Wednesday if it is passed.
