A Labour meeting held to discuss replacing Jewish MP Luciana Berger was chaired by the academic exposed by the JC for promoting Rothschild conspiracy theories on a show broadcast by David Icke.

Dr Alex Scott-Samuel hosted the meeting on Monday to discuss whether the Liverpool Wavertree party, which he chairs, should use an all-women shortlist of candidates to replace Ms Berger, who was among the MPs to quit Labour last month, attacking the party's “institutional antisemitism”.

Local activist Margaret Tyson – whom the JC exposed for alleging Ms Berger supported the “Zionist Israeli government” whose “Nazi masters taught them well” - was also present at the meeting at the Devonshire House Hotel, sitting in the front row.

Labour had pledged to launch an investigation into Ms Tyson’s remarks on February 18 after we exposed her numerous social media posts using Zionism, Israel and Nazis to attack Ms Berger.
