A Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) vice-chair has vowed not to be intimidated out of the party, after a writer for a pro-Corbyn website sent him a message berating his appearance on the BBC Panorama documentary into antisemitism.

James Wright, a writer for The Canary – which has previously been accused of peddling "fake news" – texted Stephane Savary to say the programme "didn’t mention your political career as JLM executive, left wing Zionists for Labour, councillor candidacy, writing and work in French politics.

"That’s like the BBC using me as a political source and not saying I work for The Canary. It’s bad practice." He then questioned whether Mr Savary had asked the BBC for "anonymity".

Mr Wright messaged other people who spoke on the programme, then wrote an article attacking them for failing to disclose they were members of "anti-Corbyn organisation" JLM.

Mr Savary, who spoke on the programme about his personal experience of antisemitism in Labour, told the JC that Mr Wright “doesn’t care” about the points he had raised because “he just wanted to say that all of us were politically motivated” and that “the BBC is working with us to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn.”

In the BBC Panorama documentary, he spoke about a threatening video that called him a “f**king Jew”, which a Labour member posted online.

Mr Savary stated he would not resign from Labour, saying when he had stood for election to JLM he had said that no one “would push me out of the party.”

Mr Savary said Mr Wright's message implied he was “some sort of Israeli agent” or had been in politics for “many, many years” and this “should have been said by the BBC”.

“The problem is we’re not the right kind of Jews for them,” Mr Savary remarked. “We are the ones that basically talk about racism in the party.

“We are not the ones to go to support Jeremy Corbyn and forget about everything else. And that is the reason why they target us.”

He said he had considered resigning "a few times", but that he felt he could not represent JLM without being part of Labour.

The Canary is regulated by Impress, which in its Standards Code states that publishers “must ensure that journalists do not engage in intimidation.”

Mr Wright has been approached for comment.

Izzy Lenga, JLM International Officer who also appeared on the BBC documentary, took issue with Mr Wright's article, tweeting that not even her bin deserved "this level of trash".
