Pete Willsman has been ditched by his left-wing backers on Momentum after the JC exposed the Labour NEC member's rant about how Jewish "Trump fanatics" were making false allegations of antisemitism in the party.

Mr Willsman was standing for re-election to the party's ruling body on a slate of nine candidates backed by Momentum, the left-wing pro-Jeremy Corbyn group.

But the group has ditched him, calling his comments "deeply insensitive".
