LABOUR MPs applauded party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Monday night when he announced a huge influx of 28,000 new members in just two days since his election.
He updated the figure to 30,000 in his speech to the TUC Congress yesterday, meaning 2,000 more people had joined Labour overnight.
At Monday night’s meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party, Mr Corbyn also revealed that 33,000 party members had responded to his request for topics to be put to David Cameron at today’s Prime Minister’s Questions in the Commons.
