Even after he appealing for calm, hardcore lefties continued to send him vile messages - claiming he'd deliberately turned his grandson's illness into a political football.

Mr Mann, the MP for Bassetlaw, has been an outspoken critic of Mr Corbyn over his handling of Labour's anti-Semitism scandal.

He's also one of the party's leading Brexiteers and has consistently defied his leader to vote for a clean break with the EU.

Last night Mr Mann wrote on Twitter that he'd had to drive his grandson to hospital because there was no ambulance available.

But many other web users responded by scoring political points and claiming he was partly responsible.

One wrote: "Maybe it’s time you stopped propping up the toxic Tories that are responsible for this. Oh, and the abyss that is Brexit."

Another replied: "So why do you spend your all your time undermining the current leadership of the Labour party?"

A user called Phil Speakman wrote: "If you hadn't been such a grandstanding clown from 2015 until the last election, deliberately doing you best to destroy any Labour polling gains by deliberately working with the Tories and neo-fascists to attack Corbyn in the media, we'd have a Labour government.

"That's Karma."

Mr Mann said: "A sick Labour Party member called Phil Speakman of St Helens calls the ill health of a toddler as karma because he is my grandson.

Other activists accused Mr Mann of "politicising" his grandson's health by highlighting the Corbynista trolls.
