Labour has dramatically dropped an investigation into the conduct of Dame Margaret Hodge after she accused Jeremy Corbyn of being an "antisemite" and a "racist" in a heated exchange.
In a surprise move Labour's General Secretary Jennie Formby wrote to Dame Margaret on Monday to tell her the investigation had been ended, with no action to be taken.
The threat of disciplinary action became the epicentre of the row within the party over its failure to adopt the internationally recognised definition of antisemitism, which caused a huge standoff with its Jewish supporters and MPs.
A Labour source confirmed to the JC that Ms Formby had written to Dame Margaret confirming the investigation into the House of Commons dispute had ended and that no further action will be taken.
