I would bring it up to the manager

They are aware but nothing is getting done unfortunately!

What do you mean by this?
It it's a team member, I would think the Manager is aware and may be working with the employee to engage them in an effort to produce a more positive and beneficial outcome overall. If it is a manager that is draining the team, there isn't much that can be done unless their higher ups notice it and start to investigate for themselves

I’m dealing with a team member at the moment and the manager knows but isn’t doing anything about it, which is a real shame!
Its likely a lose lose situation. When my boss hired a toxic supervisor, she knew she was toxic but she hired her to control her and keep her job because if everyone around her is incompetent and she pretends to be super cheerful and smart, she keeps her job. This is generally planned. Several people quit and told the boss that her new hired was toxic and she told her new hire what we said. She said it out loud so she could hear instead of addressing it with her. Toxic people hire toxic people sometimes. Other times the issues are invisible to them. After the new hire was reported several times, management spoke to her and she limited her negativity but only superficially. She's kind of weirdly damaged and abusive.

Very true, it’s such a shame it has to be like that though
I think someone is going to have to address it. That is the job of the manager. They should not let one person have that sort of affect on the whole team and not say anything.
