Iran has “infiltrated” Labour, one of the party’s pro-Israel MPs has warned after journalists from its state broadcaster joined the party and then filmed a members-only meeting in her constituency.

Press TV, which is banned from broadcasting in Britain, was able to film the moment a no-confidence vote was passed against Joan Ryan because its journalists were permitted to join the Labour Party as members several months ago, The Telegraph understands.

On Friday Ms Ryan, chairman of Labour Friends of Israel, demanded that Iranian propagandists from the news channel be ousted from the Party, describing their actions as “appalling” and “greatly concerning”.

Ms Ryan, a staunch critic of Jeremy Corbyn’s failure to stamp out anti-Semitism, said the Iranian broadcaster specifically targeted her because of her support for Israel, adding that their presence had been an “appalling infiltration”.

In an interview with the Telegraph, Ms Ryan, a Labour MP since 1997, said: “I’m horrified that they’ve infiltrated the Labour Party in this way and I think it needs to be investigated, because it is incredibly serious. I’m proud of my values, and I don’t expect to be the toast of the mouthpiece of the Iranian regime.”
