LABOUR MP QUITS OVER ANTI-SEMITISM

Veteran UK Labour MP Frank Field says he's quit the party's parliamentary group due to its 'appalling culture' and failure to deal with anti-semitism.

He'll now sit as an independent Labour MP, having represented Birkenhead for four decades.

Jeremy Corbyn has thanked him for his service to the Labour Party.

But Mr Field says Labour has to act.
