An activist suspended from Labour over tweets about how “Jews love money and are a bunch of crooks” and “Holocaust indoctrination” was able to continue to influence party circles by obtaining a position in the Barnet branch of the Unite trade union, it has been reported.

Laura Stuart was suspended in November 2017, after she was discovered to be behind the “GazaBoatConvoy” Twitter account.

It had tweeted “Hear it from a Jewish grandmother how Jews love money and are a bunch of crooks”, “Must still be plenty shekels to be wrung out of the memory of the Holocaust. #HolocaustIndustry” and “All Jews are above the law – as in, they cheat the laws of Moses etc. God gives edicts, they set their Rabbis to find ways around them”.
