A former member of Jeremy Corbyn's top team has urged him to quit now as party leader rather than "drag this out".

The mayhem in British Labour party ranks continued today, with one former member of Jeremy Corbyn's top team urging him to quit now rather than "drag this out" as frontbenchers continued to quit.

Mr Corbyn lost 12 members of his shadow cabinet on Sunday and further resignations have already taken place on today ahead of a crunch meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party.
