I'm told Jeremy Corbyn has been informed that the suspension of the Labour whip is for three months. Yet to be confirmed.

It is being emphasised that the three-month time period is reviewable – i.e. it's not a hard deadline, and it could be shorter depending on what happens.

I'm also told there is to be an investigation under PLP rules.

Letter from left NEC members to gen sec David Evans criticises Starmer and others for commenting on the NEC panel process, saying: "This is an unacceptable attack on the lay volunteers elected to uphold the rule book, it is direct political interference and it is unacceptable."

Letter signed by 14 NEC members: Howard Beckett, Jayne Taylor, Ian Murray, Andi Fox, Mick Whelan, Andy Kerr, Pauline McCarthy, Ellen Morrison, Lara McNeill, Mish Rahman, Laura Pidcock, Yasmine Dar, Nadia Jama and Gemma Bolton.
