Pro-Jeremy Corbyn website The Canary has denied "accusations of antisemitism" - and then claimed it has been forced to downsize by "political Zionists".

The website, which writes charged, partisan articles attacking critics of Mr Corbyn's Labour - including those highlight anti-Jewish racism within Labour - emailed supporters saying its business model "no longer works" because of advertisers abandoning it.

"Despite clearly being against the actions of a state, not against Jewish people as an ethic group, we've been smeared with accusations of antisemitism," its message said.

"Accusations stick, despite facts to the contrary. This means advertisers are susceptible to pressure from political Zionists and our advertising revenue is under fire."
