Labour suspends top Momentum figure

Momentum’s vice-chairman, Jackie Walker, was suspended from Labour last night over comments she made at a party training event.

She was seen on film saying she had not found a definition of anti-Semitism she could work with and questioning why Holocaust Memorial Day did not include other genocides. Labour said it did not comment on individual memberships but it is understood Ms Walker has been suspended. Momentum is a movement of activists backing Jeremy Corbyn as leader.
