A feminist campaigner was thrown out of a Labour Christmas party because her 'anti-transgender' views made a trans teen party member 'feel unsafe'.

Venice Allan, 42, a single mother from Lewisham, known for her controversial views, accused the Labour Party of 'an appalling, Orwellian betrayal of women' when she was made to leave a Labour Women's Network Event.

She claimed she was removed from the event by chair Olivia Bailey because her presence was making Lily Madigan - the first transgender person to be elected as a women's officer - feel uncomfortable.

She posted a photo of her and Yvette Cooper at the event on Twitter with the caption: 'So I was asked to leave the 'feminist' Xmas party because my very presence made certain people feel unsafe'

Miss Allan has been campaigning for a more detailed debate on Theresa May's plan to allow a person to decide their gender without having to undergo medical testing.

She has espoused anti-transgender views in the past, including posting a Facebook photo of a T-shirt with the slogan: 'Trans rights erase women's rights.'

The 42-year-old posted a photo of her and Yvette Cooper at the event on Twitter with the caption: 'So I was asked to leave the 'feminist' Xmas party because my very presence made certain people feel unsafe.'

She also took a selfie which showed Madigan in the background of the photo.

She later wrote on Twitter: 'I wasn't disruptive or rude as many witnesses can confirm. I am waiting for an explanation and apology from Labour Women's Network.'

She added: 'I wanted to speak to other Labour women about the proposals to change the Gender Recognition Act. It was an exceptionally safe space. How can they keep on silencing and censoring women like this?'

Responding to that Madigan said the radical feminist had been 'rightly removed' from the event.

She said: 'Venice Allan was rightly removed from the @LabourWomensNet event yesterday. I didn’t ask for her removal but I found her presence uncomfortable in light of her personal attacks on me.'

She added: 'Thanks to all those who approached me at the @LabourWomensNet Christmas party yesterday to offer solidarity. It meant a lot.'

A Labour Women's Network spokeswoman said: 'It is important that all Labour Women's Network events are a safe and welcoming space for all those in attendance. Sadly, following a number of complaints, we had no choice but to politely ask an individual to leave.'
