Leftwing Labour MPs piled the pressure on Sir Keir after they accused him of "undermining party democracy" and urged him to restore the whip to former leader Jeremy Corbyn. They also demanded he lift the current ban on local parties discussing Mr Corbyn's case in relation to the damning Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) report which found that, under his leadership, Labour had been responsible for "unlawful" harassment and discrimination of Jewish people.
