Jeremy Corbyn was pictured standing next to a suspended Labour activist at an event last night.

David Watson, a fundraising co-ordinator for the Walthamstow Labour Party, was suspended in May after the JC brought to light his antisemitic posts on social media.

He shared articles on Facebook alleging that Daesh had used weapons made in Israel, comparing Mossad with the Nazis and accusing Israel of genocide against the Palestinians.

The activist attended Waltham Forest Momentum’s phone banking evening yesterday, and was photographed standing next to the Labour leader.
