Jeremy Corbyn 'must put Labour leadership first'

"The party has spoken, we have the leader and he has to recognise being a leader, perhaps, more than representing a protest movement", he said.

Campaigner Andrew Murray is replacing Mr Corbyn as Stop the War chairman. People want decent jobs, decent homes and decent incomes - they don't want students straddled with debts and many don't want wars.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is all set to attend a Christmas dinner fundraiser for Stop the War coalition, a move which has attracted much controversy.

Mr McDonnell said: "The problem we have at the moment - that we will get through - is that it is a huge culture shock for the members of the PLP that all of a sudden we have a mass membership that is growing all the time and we are moving towards being more of a social movement than a traditional political party".

She criticised Mr Corbyn's apparent failure, in a an interview following the Paris terror attacks, to say that he would support shooting to kill terrorists if there was a similar attack in the UK.

Asked about reports in the Sun on Sunday that the former London mayor Ken Livingstone could be given a peerage by Corbyn, Prescott replied: "Nothing's a surprise with Livingstone, is it?"

Mary Beard does not want Tyson Fury as a dinner party guest, but she wants him to stay in the race for BBC Sports Personality of the Year - so that we can all vote for someone else.

Following his Labour leadership win, Morrissey claimed that Corbyn "risks assassination". 

In a speech to 200 activists who paid at least £50 a head for a three-course meal, he said Stop the War was "a vital force at the heart of our democracy".
