The MP for Edmonton in north London is due to meet party whips on Monday after issuing an apology over the message she sent on the eve of the day that marks the murder of 6 million Jews during the second world war.

    Yeah I think that’s true, in most cases Starmer is stomping on anything that could be construed as even vaguely antisemitic, for obvious reasons given recent history. I’m not sure what the equivalent justification would be for Corbyn, going after people for flipping houses or fiddling expenses or something like that?
