A Momentum activist accused a Jewish MP of using anti-Semitism in the party to “disgrace the left”, according to reports.

Lynda Sergeant said Louise Ellman, the MP for Liverpool Riverside and chair of the Jewish Labour Movement, pushed the issue at local party meetings with a “martyred/victim look on her face.”

The Times reports that a Momentum branch of the campaign group , the far-left grassroots organisation set up to support Mr Corbyn after his election victory, attempted to prevent an investigation into anti-Semitism.
