Suspended Labour activist Jackie Walker has launched into a hate-filled rant against veteran Jewish MP Dame Margaret Hodge, accusing her of being a member of the "white millionaire elite" who has engaged in "black Jew baiting."

The former Momentum vice-chair, whose high-profile hearing on antisemitism charges before Labour's ruling body is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, also claimed she was the victim of a "lynching" led by the "Zionist Jewish Labour Movement and their supporters."

Ms Walker posted the 15-minute video on her Facebook page in which she twice suggested she would have been treated differently by Labour had she been a "white Jew."

Criticising an article that appeared in the Daily Mail about Ms Walker's two-year long suspension from Labour in which Dame Margaret was quoted, Ms Walker says: "I think it's absolute extraordinary that someone from the white millionaire elite can use their power in this way."
