I AM disappointed to see that The Press is no better than the Murdoch-owned national papers in its biased reporting of Jeremy Corbyn and his team (Chris Moncrieff’’s column, July 26).

The article refers to the incident of Corbyn’s aides entering the office of Seema Malhotra, and supposedly intimidating her, and states: “If this allegation is true - and there does not seem to have been much of a denial - then this is a serious breach of parliamentary privilege.”

In actual fact, John McDonnell explained on the Andrew Marr show on July 24 that this was a genuine mistake as Ms Malhotra was thought to have vacated the office following her resignation a month ago.

This, like other allegations of abuse of female MPs, is yet another attempt to discredit Corbyn.

I would also question the article’s description of Corbyn “hanging on like a limpet” as somewhat inaccurate, given that he has increased the membership of the Labour Party to unprecedented numbers, and has enormous support from the members, if not the Parliamentary Labour Party.
