The largest Constituency Labour Party in the country has voted to affiliate with the pro-Corbyn Jewish Voice for Labour (JVL) fringe group, with at least one Jewish member of the party subsequently submitting their resignation in protest.
At its meeting on Wednesday night, 50 members of the Hornsey & Wood Green CLP voted in favour of affiliation, 29 against, with 13 abstentions.
One Jewish member who was at the meeting wrote on social media that he felt “distraught and angry”, but said that “we went down fighting".
“The other side used laughable stock JVL arguments - talking about their own Jewish identity, denying there is any significance in community and claiming victimhood,” he said.
