Hard-left Labour activists shouted down Haringey Labour councillors who supported a motion to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, recognised by the government and now widely used in the public sector.
Councillor Joe Goldberg said members from the pro-Jeremy Corbyn Momentum group threatened him for supporting the motion while other speakers were also shouted down at the meeting on Monday night.
Immediately after the meeting, he wrote on Twitter: “Tonight I sat in Full Council threatened by Labour Party members for voting for motion on antisemitism while speakers were shouted down.”
A Momentum group on Facebook had earlier encouraged members to attend the north London council meeting to oppose the motion.
