The Labour Party will not discipline a Birmingham councillor who shared an antisemitic video on his Facebook page.

A spokesman said Labour had accepted Zafar Iqbal’s explanation that he had “no idea” how the clip had appeared on his social media.

The video, CNN, Goldman Sachs & the Zio Matrix, was produced by David Duke, a former leader of American white supremacist movement, the Klu Klux Klan.

Mr Iqbal shared the video with a description claiming the clip “reveals how the Zionist Matrix of Power controls Media, Politics and Banking”.
