Labour has decided against launching a formal investigation into the Jewish Labour Movement following the airing of the Al Jazeera series The Lobby last month.

The JC understands party officials looked into allegations against the JLM arising from the four-part series but will not pursue the case.

Al Jazeera had tried to prove there was collusion between Jewish and pro-Israel Labour groups in the UK and the Israeli embassy.

In one episode of The Lobby, JLM’s director Ella Rose was filmed in tears by an undercover reporter following an encounter with Jackie Walker, a Labour activist twice suspended over claims of antisemitism.
