The mood within the party is unbelievably tense and threatens its very existence." "Frank Field, who recently quit the parliamentary party, citing the handling of the antisemitism row and bullying in local constituency parties," " former shadow business secretary, Chuka Umunna, said Corbyn should “call off the dogs”. He said Labour’s tradition of fighting discrimination was under threat. “There is now a clear and present danger that this tradition is driven out of our party.” " https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/sep/09/jeremy-corbyn-in-party-row-purging-labour-mps-who-criticise-leadership
