A former Labour member has described how two total strangers took just five minutes to decide that Jews are “subhuman” and should be “forced to eat bacon” when they met at party conference.

Colin Appleby, 52, said two delegates who did not know each other sat across from him at breakfast and discussed the problem of Jews “complaining too much” and “having too much power” at the Liverpool conference in 2018.

Mr Appleby, who is Jewish and resigned his membership and position as LGBT Officer in the Cities of London and Westminster Labour Party in in October 2018, said he was “shocked” to hear that two strangers could express anti-Semitism so openly.

He has added his resignation letter to 'Forced Out', a collection of letters from Labour members who have resigned over anti-Semitism, published today.
