8:08Now PlayingJeremy Corbyn tonight faces calls to halt the allegedly widespread practice of Muslim men preventing Muslim women from becoming Labour Party councillors. The accusation has been made by the Muslim Women's Network UK and a letter sent by them to the Labour leader this evening describes "systematic misogyny displayed by significant numbers of Muslim male local councillors." In this exclusive report, Newsnight's Katie Razzall reveals accusations of sabotage, smear campaigns and slander borne, it is claimed, of a cultural mindset imported from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
