Ruth Smeeth, the Jewish Labour MP, has said she is astonished at reported comments by the Labour activist who left her in tears at a high-profile party event earlier this year.
Mrs Smeeth was so upset when Marc Wadsworth challenged her at the launch of the Chakrabarti report on Labour antisemitism in June that she was forced to flee the room.
Mr Wardsworth had accused the MP for Stoke on Trent of working “hand in hand” with right-wing media to damage party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
He was subsequently suspended by the party, but, according to the Huffington Post, claimed this week that he had been “set up”.
