A Labour activist who accused MP Jess Phillips of being paid £1 million by the "Israeli lobby" and who attacked Luciana Berger over Palestine has been expelled.

Ian Humphries, a member of the East Devon Constituency Labour Party (CLP), was reported to party chiefs by the Birmingham Yardley MP after he made false allegations against her on social media.

Ms Phillips said his messages, which also dismissed Labour's antisemitism crisis as "bourgeois lies and propaganda", were "very clear antisemitism" after she was made aware of them by the Gnasher Jew Twitter account.

She and Gnasher Jew were then both attacked by pro-Corbyn account Labour Left Voice, which falsely accused the latter of being run by members of the Conservative Friends of Israel.
