The Labour Party has suspended a member months after she allegedly posted anti-Semitic abuse online.

Adam Langleben, a councillor for Barnet Council in London, claims he reported the woman behind the posts in July.

Mr Langleben said the party member had shared anti-Semitic posts via several social media accounts, including the @GazaBoatConvoy Twitter account.

One tweet reported by Mr Langleben read: "Hear it from a Jewish grandmother how Jews love money and are a bunch of crooks".

Another read: "Must still be plenty shekels to be wrung out of the memory of the Holocaust."

She was suspended months after the incidents were first reported, however, following a string of posts

Speaking to the BBC, he said he hoped raising the issue would "apply the necessary pressure for action to be taken".

He said: "The response has been overwhelmingly positive. But clearly there's been a whole bunch of anti-Semitic filth thrown at me.

"The Labour Party has had 100 years of fighting the anti-Semitic far right, but now needs to learn how to deal with anti-Semitism dressed up in the language of the left."

An official inquiry into anti-Semitism in the party in June last year, led by Labour peer Shami Chakrabarti, found an "occasionally toxic atmosphere".

The inquiry followed the suspension of MP Naz Shah and ex-London mayor Ken Livingstone, both dogged by accusations of anti-Semitism.
