(Jewish Group) Labour member suspended over 'Jews control the media' tweet
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)A Labour member who posted on twitter that ‘Jews control the media’ has been suspended by the party
The party confirmed to Jewish News that it is investigating Angela Ormerod over an allegedly anti-Semitic tweet sent on Thursday.
In the tweet, she posted a picture of Jewish Labour MP Margaret Hodge with the text “Jews control the media.”
In the image, claims are made about the MP’s family’s business, accusing her of dodging taxes and of racking up more than a million pounds in expenses.
Hodge, who confronted Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn last week and called him “an anti-Semite and a racist” after the party’s National Executive Committee declined to adopt the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism, will reportedly be disciplined by the party.
