A Labour Friends of Israel activist says he was questioned at the party's conference over whether a plot to oust Jeremy Corbyn as leader was run by Jewish MPs.



Labour Friends of Israel, which supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestine conflict, has a stall at this week's conference in Liverpool where party members can find out more about its work.

Aaron Simons, one of the activists at the stall, told BuzzFeed News he was approached by a man who claimed "all the Jewish MPs" had plotted against Corbyn during the leadership election. Simons has reported the incident to the Labour party.

The claim comes just hours after a senior Labour peer, Lord Parry Mitchell, said he was quitting the party over Corbyn's "lukewarm" approach to tackling anti-Semitism.
