They are increasing worried about the prospect of Mr Corbyn becoming prime minister because he is ‘propped up’ by his advisers, The Times reported.

And they fear he struggles to get his hands around both foreign and domestic affairs.

One senior civil servant told the newspaper: ‘When does someone say [he] is too ill to carry on as leader of the Labour Party let alone prime minister?… He is not functioning on all cylinders.’

Another said: ‘There is a real worry that the Labour leader isn’t up to the job physically or mentally but is being propped up by those around him.

‘There’s growing concern that he’s too frail and is losing his memory. He’s not in charge of his own party.’

A Labour Party spokesman said My Corbyn is in good health and led an active life, including regular running and cycling.
