Activists from the hard-left Momentum campaign group are using the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to stir up tensions across Britain, MPs have claimed.

The warning came as a document investigating the alleged behaviour of Momentum members in Liverpool was leaked.

The report highlighted how Louise Ellman, the veteran Jewish Liverpool Riverside MP, had been targeted by activists in her constituency intent on getting her deselected ahead of the next election.

One Momentum campaigner was revealed to have suggested approaching Muslims to offer "a more progressive stance towards Palestine" while discussing whether Mrs Ellman could be removed. Another activist claimed she "uses her position as an MP to support whatever horrors the IDF and Israel commits".
