Anti-semitic views to face a crackdown

- BY MIKEY SMITH

LABOUR has backed new powers to stamp out antisemiti­sm in the party.

Last night members voted to back a tightening of rules against racism, sexual harassment, bullying and intimidati­on.

The change, proposed by the Jewish Labour Movement was backed by Jeremy Corbyn.

Ilford North MP Wes Streeting said: “There are too many, including at the top, who have adopted an ostrich strategy.”

Earlier Deputy Leader Tom Watson pledged an investigat­ion after fringe event speaker Miko Peled said people should be allowed to question if the Holocaust happened.
