Labour MP Chris Williamson has been criticised after he tweeted a story attacking the Board of Deputies, hours after 11 people died in a shooting at a synagogue in the US city of Pittsburgh.

While his colleagues were sending messages of condolences to the Jewish community, the Derby North MP shared a link from the far-left blog Skwawkbox of an article titled: “Board of Deputies president accused of using an antisemitic trope.”

He wrote: “Well, well blow me down with a feather.”
