Leaked internal documents from Labour's own disciplinary department have revealed shocking evidence of unresolved cases of antisemitism from members.

The files, published by the Sunday Times, confirm the party is still overwhelmed with cases of anti-Jewish racism - with leaked audio revealing a party official admitting in October that 130 investigations remain outstanding.

The majority of these were reported to Labour 18 months ago. The revelations come after Jeremy Corbyn claimed to be showing zero tolerance to antisemitism since appointing Jennie Formby as general secretary in 2018.

Among the cases were Labour members who likened Jews to killer viruses and labelled them "bent nose manipulative liars."
