Labour expels black Jewish activist Jackie Walker
Jackie Walker

LABOUR expelled Jackie Walker today for what the party’s national constitutional committee found to be “prejudicial and grossly detrimental” behaviour.

The committee’s three-person panel found the charges of breaches of party rules levelled against the suspended activist had been proven.

Ms Walker, who remains national equalities officer for the wider movement’s pressure group the Labour Representation Committee, faced charges for having claimed at the 2016 Labour Party conference that Holocaust Memorial Day did not commemorate other genocides.
