Ruth Smeeth, the Jewish Labour MP, is being escorted to Labour HQ for an anti-Semitism hearing regarding Momentum supporter Marc Wadsworth. She is not being escorted as some kind of show of support: she is being escorted to ensure her safety because there is a large and vocal protest from pro-Wadsworth people outside the building. It has been suggested that she enter the building via the rear entrance to ensure her safety.
Corbynite fanatic Chris Williamson, who thinks the anti-Semitism situation is nothing more than attack on his sainted leader, is giving evidence in support of Wadsworth. He should be shoved out of the party along with Wadsworth but I fully expect him to be appointed to the shadow cabinet within hours.
A Jewish woman Labour MP having to be accompanied to a meeting of the people’s party for her own safety. Think about that for a moment.
What a time to be alive.
