Bristol University lecturer David Miller has been suspended by Labour just weeks after the JC revealed he had said Sir Keir Starmer was not going to conduct a proper investigation into a leaked antisemitism report because he was "in receipt of money from the Zionist movement."

Sociologist Mr Miller has been a repeated critic of Israel and has given frequent speeches on alleged propaganda operations by the state and what he claims are its corporate lobbies.

But he has confirmed to the Electronic Intifada website that he was suspended by Labour on Monday in what he claimed was ''the targeted harassment of socialist members".

He added the suspensions were designed to target members who understand the "racism of Zionism'', which he said was “obviously incompatible with membership of the Labour Party”.
