Labour Party criticised for revoking journalist's press pass
The move against investigative reporter Asa Winstanley comes days after the government-funded Community Safety Trust published a report singling out his coverage of anti-semitism allegations in the Labour Party

LABOUR has been labelled “undemocratic” after the party revoked a press pass for a leading journalist on Israel-Palestine.

Asa Winstanley, an investigative reporter for Electronic Intifada, successfully applied for a pass to attend Labour’s annual conference in Brighton this September.

 

Labour have granted me, but then revoked, a press pass to report on party conference next month -- @AliAbunimah has the details: https://t.co/PhdukCYTW8
