DOZENS of Labour MPs today lashed out at Jeremy Corbyn after his ally Chris Williamson was allowed back into the party despite anti-Semitism claims.

The leftie leader is under mounting pressure to kick the far-left MP out of Labour for good.

Mr Williamson enraged MPs and Jewish groups when he said the party was "too apologetic" about its anti-Semitism scandal.

Last night it emerged that he won't be expelled over the remarks despite being suspended for four months.

Mr Corbyn's deputy Tom Watson today organised an open letter signed by more than 100 Labour MPs or peers.

They blasted: "We call on Jeremy Corbyn to show leadership by asking for this inappropriate, offensive and reputationally damaging decision to be overturned and reviewed.

"Ultimately, it is for Jeremy Corbyn to decide whether Chris Williamson retains the Labour whip.

"He must remove it immediately if we are to stand any hope of persuading anyone that the Labour Party is taking anti-Semitism seriously."

The group added: "Justice needs to be seen to be done and this process has not done that.

"Given that the Labour Party is being investigated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission over allegations of institutional anti-Semitism this case is particularly important."

Other big beasts who signed the letter include Yvette Cooper, Margaret Hodge and Peter Mandelson as well as multiple shadow ministers.

Mr Corbyn insisted he wasn't responsible for Mr Williamson's case, saying: "I wasn't involved in the decision at all, it was an independent panel set up through the National Executive.

"They examined the case and they've decided to let him back in, albeit with a reprimand.

"They went through the case, they interviewed him and they went through the case in great detail, and the three of them on the panel made that decision.

"We deal with anti-Semitism very, very seriously, there is no place for anti-Semitism in our society and obviously not in our party as well."

Backbench MP Wes Streeting stormed: "What Jeremy Corbyn is saying is categorically untrue."
