Damning new evidence has been unearthed against three Labour councillors who were suspended for alleged antisemitism but then reinstated.

The revelations will fuel calls for the party to ensure it has an effective vetting system so that Sir Keir Starmer can rid Labour of the legacy of Jeremy Corbyn. One of the trio has again lost the whip.

The dossier of shocking social media material emerges with five other Labour councillors having already been suspended for alleged extremism since the local elections last month.

Newport councillor Miqdad Al-Nuaimi was suspended in 2017 for comparing Israel to Nazi Germany, which may be a breach of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism since adopted by Labour. He was then reinstated.
