Jeremy Corbyn makes fresh complaint over rejected House of Lords nominees

Anger is growing on the left after Labour peerages were blocked, as Lord Fowler, a Tory, criticised the chamber's expansion

Jeremy Corbyn has raised renewed concerns over the decision to reject his nominees for seats in the House of Lords, amid anger on the left over a raft of peerages announced last week.

It is understood the former Labour leader has again complained to the cabinet office about the rejection of a peerage for Karie Murphy, a former Labour official and a close ally.
