Labour will no longer use Ken Loach as the producer of their election broadcasts following his comments on antisemitism this week.

According to the right-leaning Guido Fawkes website Labour have plans for two more broadcasts and sources have confirmed that Mr Loach will not be involved in their production.

This comes after the film-maker demanded that the Labour MPs who demonstrated against antisemitism in Parliament Square be kicked out of the party.

Referring to the group of more than 30 MPs from Jeremy Corbyn’s party who joined the Enough is Enough protest organised by the Board of Deputies and the Jewish Leadership Council, Mr Loach said: “These are the ones we need to kick out.”
