Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, has sacked Rebecca Long-Bailey from the Shadow Cabinet after she shared an article which contained an antisemitic conspiracy theory on Twitter.
The main point of the interview with Maxine Peak in the Arts section of the Independent was about Labour voters and how the actor believed that people who didn’t vote Labour because of Corbyn “voted Tory as far as I’m concerned.”
She also talked about “ridding ourselves of capitalism” and the Government’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, one section of the article referred to a 2016 Amnesty International report that said hundreds of US law enforcement officials had travelled to Israel for training.
It implied that this training “could have included neck kneeling tactics” – although there is no evidence of this.
