POLITICAL witch-hunts targeting allies of Jeremy Corbyn must not be allowed to “poison relationships between the black, Asian and Jewish communities,” Clive Lewis told a Grassroots Black Left fringe meeting on Tuesday night.
Mr Lewis said he was proud to stand with anti-racist Marc Wadsworth in his battle to be reinstated as a member of the Labour Party, having known and campaigned with him for decades.
Mr Wadsworth was expelled from the party on the grounds of bringing it into disrepute by saying Ruth Smeeth MP was working “hand in hand” with the Daily Telegraph at the launch of the Chakrabarti report into anti-semitism in the party.
