Now Tory peer probed over Tunisia conference

A TORY peer is to be investigated after it was revealed he had attended the same controversial conference in Tunisia as Jeremy Corbyn.

Lord Shekih faces a probe over the 2014 event which two Conservative MPs claimed was ‘addressed by anti-Semites and terrorists’.

Robert Halfon and Zac Goldsmith said attending it had been a breach of the party’s code of conduct.

Mr Corbyn insists he went to the event to remember victims of a 1985 Israeli air strike on Palestinian Liberation Organisation offices in the capital, Tunis.

However, he was also pictured at a memorial for Palestinian terrorists accused of masterminding the attack on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Tory chairman Brandon Lewis said Mr Corbyn’s attendance at the conference proved he was ‘unfit for senior public office’ – putting him under pressure to act when it emerged Lord Sheikh had also been there.
