Dame Margaret Hodge claimed Mr Corbyn had either misled her or been misled himself about the extent of his team’s involvement in cases.

A senior Labour MP has accused members of Jeremy Corbyn’s inner circle of interfering in the outcome of anti-Semitism cases to reduce the sanction imposed.

Dame Margaret has written to Mr Corbyn setting out her concerns, which follow an Observer report at the weekend about the process followed in certain anti-Semitism cases. ‘He claims no political interference in these cases, I have now seen so much evidence there is definitely political interference. She also questioned the plan for former lord chancellor Lord Falconer to be brought in to examine the issue, saying she did not believe he was independent and it could be a repeat of Baroness Chakrabarti’s inquiry, which critics branded a whitewash.

‘Staff who work on disciplinary matters have always led on investigations and recommendations on individual cases.‘Any suggestion that staff in the Leaders’ Office overturned recommendations on individual cases is categorically untrue.’

Nearly 1,000 Jeremy Corbyn supporters sign letter apologising over antisemitism in Labour's ranks'We have seen antisemitism from Labour members and supporters, online or offline. We recognise that as a movement we have been too slow to acknowledge this problem, too tolerant of the existence of antisemitic views within our ranks, too defensive and too eager to downplay it' wesstreeting They DO NOT want letters! Or facts! Or truth! They want Labour's BLOOD! Or it's head on a plate! Get that? This is a war from the far right and it's nasty!!! So a non story then.They say its a small minority but the actual evidence is that its absolutely minuscule.If there is evidence to the contrary lets see it. Sadly,the Independent then goes on to decry Berger and LP 'thugs' although no evidence . Bergers affiliations r now obvious I only apologised for the 20 I think that was expelled. We're NOT institutionally racist. Someone has to say it, so I will.
