Leading figures on the left have responded to the news of Corbyn's suspension. Here are some of the most significant reactions.

A spokesperson for the Labour Party said: "In light of his comments made today and his failure to retract them subsequently, the Labour Party has suspended Jeremy Corbyn pending investigation."

“I found this report hard to read,” Starmer said. “It is a day of shame for the Labour Party."

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.

He said the comments were “politically motivated” and were “orchestrated” by people outside his constituency.

"If there's one message I could get out there, it's that even when this is all over, there are still struggling people in our communities, and we cannot walk away from them."

“At a time when school children are going hungry, the arrogance of his actions is even more striking.”

"This Tory MP has let down her constituency beyond belief."

She has since said she "deeply regrets any offence which may have been caused."
