Shami Chakrabarti is "damaging" the credibility of Labour and must set out a detailed timeline of precisely when she first discussed a peerage with Jeremy Corbyn, a senior Labour MP has warned.

Wes Streeting has called on the Labour peer to set out clearly when she was made aware that her name was on a long-list of peers drawn up by Jeremy Corbyn and when the Labour leader first spoke to her about the honour.

It follows claims that Baroness Chakrabarti was aware that she could be given a peerage before she was invited to investigate allegations of anti-Semitism and other forms of racism in the party.
