The constituency party of a Jewish Labour member, whose home was targeted after she spoke about antisemitism at a party meeting, has condemned “this reprehensible act”.

Dr Rebecca Moses spoke at a meeting of her local Labour party on September 9, during a discussion on whether to support the adoption of the full International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of Jew-hate.

Days later, a picture of Donald Trump was placed outside her house. Dr Moses tweeted that whoever placed it there meant to say she was "automatically a Trump fan" because she was Jewish. Dr Moses reported the incident to police as a hate crime.

Wimbledon Labour, Dr Moses’ CLP, released a statement, saying: "The Executive Committee of Wimbledon Labour Party condemns this reprehensible act. We stand in solidarity with Rebecca and her family."
