Luciana Berger reveals newborn son's name

Luciana Berger has revealed her newborn son is to be called Zion Benjamin Manny Goldsmith.

The MP, gave birth to her second child last Tuesday, amid an outpouring of support from the Jewish community after, heavily pregnant, she quit Labour last month after years of threats and abuse over the party's "institutional antisemitism".

She announced the name on Tuesday.

Manny was the name of her great uncle, Labour MP Manny Shinwell, who served as a minster under Ramsey Macdonald and Clement Atlee.
