Labour has closed an investigation into a prospective parliamentary candidate after accusations that she shared antisemitic posts on Facebook.

The party’s National Executive Committee had been looking into Kate Linnegar after Guido Fawkes revealed she shared a Facebook post that referred to “Holocaust-mongers” and another defending Jackie Walker.

One post linked to an interview with Norman Finkelstein and accused Labour MPs who criticised Naz Shah over her antisemitism scandal of being “Holocaust-mongers”
