Jeremy Corbyn is at the centre of a new antisemitism row after he was pictured with an anti-Israel activist who said that “free speech” meant Labour members should be able to ask: “Holocaust; yes or no”.

Miko Peled, who has also previously stated that “Jews have a reputation for being sleazy thieves” and has called for the complete destruction of Israel, tweeted a picture of himself with the Labour leader at the party conference in Liverpool.

He tweeted it was "brilliant to see the courageous Jeremy Corbyn, accessible, gracious & generous".

He argued Labour members should be able to question the Holocaust at a fringe event at last year's party conference, saying: "The freedom to criticise and to discuss every issue, whether it's the Holocaust: yes or no, Palestine, the liberation, the whole spectrum. There should be no limits on the discussion."
