MPs say there is 'confusion' over who is in charge after claims Jeremy Corbyn's office is interfering in the complaints process.

Labour MP Neil Coyle, who attended the meeting, said afterwards:"There is total confusion over who is in charge."We were told this was priority one and that doesn't seem to be being delivered." Accusations of meddling in the disciplinary process were made at the weekend after leaked emails showed Miss Murray's father Andrew Murray, a powerful adviser to Mr Corbyn, had been consulted on cases.Miss Murray, a manager in the Labour leader's office, had been seconded to the team looking at party complaints, and emails leaked to The Times suggested she made recommendations about cases.
Labour had played down Miss Murray role, with sources insisting that she was providing administrative support to the complaints team, due to their increased workload. Another MP who attended the meeting said:"There was a huge row. We have completely lost faith in the process".
