Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will have the whip suspended for at least three months, it is claimed.

It’s thought the inquiry could take up to three months.

Meanwhile, Mr Corbyn can sit in the Commons as an independent MP.

He was suspended after making comments on a watchdog report into anti-Semitism within the Labour Party.

Mr Corbyn said the scale of the problem had been “dramatically overstated for political reasons” by opponents and the media.
