Momentum activist Marlene Ellis has been suspended from the Labour Party over a blog which accused Jeremy Corbyn of playing “right into the hands of Zionist criminals” by suspending Ken Livingstone.
The blog, which described Mr Livingstone’s suspension as “unjustifiable” and called on Mr Corbyn to reverse it, was posted by Ms Ellison on the Momentum Black ConneXions group (MBC) website.
The piece described the action taken against the former mayor of London as a “ knee-jerk reaction to pro-Zionist and other right-wing pressures from within and outside the current Labour Party leadership”.
It added: “We of Momentum Black ConneXions (MBC) never imagined a Labour Party led by you, Jeremy Corbyn, would ever immediately react in such frightful haste by clamping down on the freedom of critical radical expression.”
