The official at the centre of allegations concerning the bullying of Labour MP Luciana Berger held a meeting with Jeremy Corbyn to discuss what he considered the “victimisation” of anti-Zionists.
Alex Scott-Samuel, the chairman of the local Labour Party in Ms Berger’s Liverpool Wavertee constituency, approved motions of no-confidence in the MP on the grounds that her campaign against antisemitism amounted to “disloyalty” to Mr Corbyn.
The Mail on Sunday said Mr Scott-Samuel met the Labour leader in 2016 to discuss what he considered was victimisation of people who took his own position.
He took a prominent position at last year’s Labour Party Conference in Liverpool – the same meeting in which Ms Berger needed an armed guard to protect her against militant supporters of Mr Corbyn.
