Two MPs who have lost no-confidence votes among local members have told constituents they will not quit.
Former Minister Joan Ryan, MP for Enfield North, blamed the 94-92 vote defeat on "Trots, Stalinists, Communists and assorted hard-left".
Luton South MP Gavin Shuker said he was "sorry for a handful of people" wanted to overturn his 2017 win.
Both are among MPs to have criticized Jeremy Corbyn in their local parties.
Others include Frank Field, who quit the parliamentary party last week citing the handling of the anti-Semitism row and bullying in local constituency parties, Kate Hoey, who has voted with the government on Brexit, and another Brexit-backing Labor MP Graham Stringer, who won his no confidence vote.

In July, Momentum's national co-ordinator Laura Parker suggests Ms Hoey, Mr Stringer, Mr Field and John Mann – who also backs Brexit – should be deselected, saying there was "no room" for them in the party.
No confidence votes carry out official force in the field of local labor activists could hold a "trigger nerd", where sitting Labor MPs can be forced to compete for a candidate against all-comers, ahead of the next general election.
Ms Ryan, who chairs the Labor Friends of Israel group of Mr Corbyn, said on Twitter: "Just to be clear, I am not resigning. Labor values. "
She added that losing 92 to 94 votes was "hardly a decisive victory": "It never happened to me that Trots, Stalinists, Communists and assorted hard left would [have] confidence in me. I have none in them. "

Labor says the party under Mr Corbyn is giving a voice and hope to communities that have been held back and ignored for years
Mr Shuker tweeted a message to his constituents: "It's not part of any formal procedure, so it changes nothing about my role as Labor MP for Luton South.
"I'm really sorry for a handful of people in the Labor Party want to overturn your vote of confidence in me last year.Their actions say less about me – and you – what they do about today's Labor Party.
"I've not changed, but the Labor Party has."
Earlier, Labor peer Lord Blunkett said that both he and deputy leader Lord Hattersley had complained to the general secretary about the activities of Corbyn ally Chris Williamson, who said he was putting some MPs under "enormous pressure" with threats of deselection.
Mr Williamson has been traveling around the world. He has been traveling around the world.
But Lord Blunkett told the BBC: "It would be better if he would spend time in Conservative seats fighting the Tories", "Lord Blunkett told BBC Radio 4's Today" .
Lord Blunkett called "decent people in the Labor Party" to "stand up and take action".
Earlier, training Labor prime minister Tony Blair told the BBC it was a "different type of Labor Party" under Jeremy Corbyn adding: "Can it be taken back? I do not know."
"There are lots of people who feel that the Labor Party's lost, that the game's over." I'm kind of hoping they're not right. "
In response to Mr Blair's comments, a spokesperson for the Labor Party said it was "giving a voice and hope to communities that have been held back and ignored for years".
"Our policies to end austerity and bring water, public opinion and public opinion are popular and reflect the mainstream of public opinion."
