Seven MPs have resigned from the Labour Party in protest at Leader Jeremy Corbyn's approach to Brexit and accusations of institutional anti-Semitism within the party.
The MPs are Chuka Umunna, Luciana Berger, Chris Leslie, Angela Smith, Mike Gapes, Gavin Shuker and Ann Coffey.
Berger said she had exited the party because Labour had become institutionally anti-Semitic and she was "embarrassed and ashamed" to stay.
Corbyn said he was "disappointed" the MPs had felt unable to continue working for the policies that "inspired millions" at the 2017 election.
