A member of the National Union of Journalists' governing body, who resigned during a hearing over a tweet in which she said prominent Jewish politicians do not have “human blood,” has been condemned for sharing a tweet promoting Holocaust denial.

Arjum Wajid was found to be in breach of her NUJ membership responsibilities when she tweeted to attack Ruth Smeeth and Dame Louise Ellman, two Jewish Labour MPs, and Adam Langleben, a Jewish former Labour councillor in Barnet.

But the JC understands she resigned during the hearing into her conduct, having shared another tweet which accused Zionists of using a “fake event” to “manipulate the entire world into a conflict that devastates Europe”.

The tweet she retweeted on July 8, was originally sent in support of the suspended Labour MP Chris Williamson and accompanied with the picture of a cow and the word Zionism.
