More than 60 opposition Labour members of Britain's upper house of parliament sign a statement in the Guardian accusing leader Jeremy Corbyn of failing "the test of leadership" over anti-Semitism in the party.
The statement, signed by several former ministers when Labour was in power from 1997 to 2010, has a stark message: "The Labour Party welcomes everyone* irrespective of race, creed, age, gender identity, or sexual orientation. (*except, it seems, Jews)."
"You have failed to defend our party's anti-racist values. You have therefore failed the test of leadership."
