MP Chris Williamson, who was suspended by Labour amid accusations he was a "Jew-baiter", has claimed he is being referred to the party's disciplinary body "for expulsion".

Mr Williamson, who was suspended in February for claiming the party was "too apologetic" about its antisemitism crisis, wrote on his Facebook on Tuesday that he faced being kicked out.

"In a total subversion of due process, Chris Williamson MP has been referred to the Labour Party’s National Constitutional Committee for expulsion," a statement on his official Facebook said.

"We understand this to be unlawful and against Labour’s rules. Legal action against the party machine is under way and a crowdfunder is coming soon to help meet costs."
