The accused staffers said Labour "should be focusing on the deeply troubling evidence" in the leaked report.

Chomsky has previously spoken of being subjected to antisemitism as a child.

Corbyn has since been reinstated as a party member by the National Executive Committee, but Sir Keir has not restored the Labour whip – meaning Mr Corbyn cannot sit as a Labour MP.

Nick Brown asked him to “unequivocally, unambiguously and without reservation” apologise for claiming that the scale of anti-Semitism in the party had been “dramatically overstated for political reasons”.

Corbyn released a statement apologising for the comments that led to his suspension, potentially leading to his reinstatement.

The former leader has said he will “strongly contest” the decision to suspend him pending an investigation, which also meant the Islington North MP had the Labour whip removed in Parliament.

In a statement posted on his Facebook page, Corbyn said that reform of the Party’s complaints process was “stalled by an obstructive party bureaucracy” and that the system was “not fit for purpose” when he became leader in 2015.

A long-awaited review, published this morning by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, identified “serious failings in the Labour Party leadership in addressing antisemitism and an inadequate process for handling antisemitism complaints.”

It is an especially crucial moment for Jeremy Corbyn, under whose leadership the party was accused of institutional antisemitism.
