Renowned Holocaust historian Deborah Lipstadt has condemned the decision of a colleague who was her lead witness against David Irving to vote Labour.
Prof Richard Evans, one of the country's most pre-eminent historians of the Third Reich, was cross-examined for more than a week in Prof Lipstadt's defence in 2000 during the infamous, ultimately unsuccessful, libel action Mr Irving brought against her for her attacks on his Holocaust denial.
On Sunday, Prof Evans was lambasted for tweeting he would vote for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour, despite the fact its failure to address antisemitism within its ranks "makes me very angry".
