Ken Loach is undermining Jeremy Corbyn's pledge to do more to tackle antisemitism, a Jewish Labour MP has warned.
Luciana Berger launched a scathing attack on the film director after he gave a speech this week in which he called for the deselection of Labour MPs who attended the “Enough is Enough” demonstration against antisemitism within the party last month.
The Liverpool Wavertree MP also recalled Mr Loach's political background as a member of extreme left organisations such as the Workers Revolutionary Party and accused him of having a "habit" of "verbally abusing" Labour Party members.
Writing for the Times’s Red Box site, Ms Berger said: “Mr Loach, in calling for Labour MPs to be expunged from the party, undermines Labour's local election campaign across the country.
