Jeremy Corbyn's opponents are "becoming adjusted" to his leadership after his re-election victory, according to Labour Party sources.

The Labour leader faced "critical" questioning by MPs as he addressed them at a meeting in Parliament but the "majority" are "looking for ways to work" with him, it was claimed.

Mr Corbyn, who is continuing the reshuffle of his top team, has called for the party to "move forward" and unite following a year of bitter division.

He has made 10 further shadow ministerial appointments, with eight of the names making a return to the frontbench.

But one senior Labour figure left the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) meeting early, branding it the "usual patronising crap".

A Labour source insisted the gathering had been far less fractious than many the leader had faced during the previous year.

"There's critical questions, as there are at every PLP meeting, but there have been a number of stormy meetings and this doesn't even register at the low level on the Richter scale," they said.

Asked about reports that Mr Corbyn described Russia as "apparently" having bombed targets in Syria, the source said the evidence surrounding atrocities was "often very murky".

"But I think he has said, not only tonight but at other times, that the evidence appears to show that, that Russia was involved in that bombing, or if not Russia, the Syrian air force, and all the evidence around it appears to show that it was a war crime."

The source insisted that Mr Corbyn "has condemned Russia" and is opposed to "all forms" of international intervention in the conflict.

Christina Rees, Liz McInnes, Mike Kane, Alan Whitehead, Mary Glindon, Gerald Jones, Chris Matheson and Fabian Hamilton have all returned to the frontbench after resigning earlier this year. Sue Hayman has been given a new role and Ruth Cadbury moves off the backbenches.

Mr Corbyn sacked Rosie Winterton as chief whip because there needed to be a "resetting of the relationship with the PLP and the way it operates" and the enforcer operation needs to "reflect" Mr Corbyn's mandate, the source said.

Labour sources said there was "not a fixed number of posts" in the frontbench team and the leadership is "not putting a time limit" on when the reshuffle will be completed.
