Jeremy Corbyn has been urged to expel a Momentum activist from the Labour Party, after he posted anti-Israel comments online.

Bob Campbell, from Middlesborough, was suspended from the party pending investigation, following statements he made on Facebook, suggesting that Mossad was behind Daesh.

Mr Campbell said that the Israeli secret service was behind the terrorist attacks in Brussels. He also posted a picture of a rat with the Star of David, alongside the caption “the real plague”.

Mr Campbell was suspended from the party after his local MP Tom Blenkinsop was made aware of his Facebook posts.
