The interview - contained in my earlier thread - with Tuvia Tenenbom, who spoke to Willsman back in January, is worth listening to.

Labour spokesman: “Peter Willsman has been suspended from the Labour Party, pending investigation.” Understand he will not be able to attend NEC meetings or perform any duties as a member of the NEC whilst he is suspended from the Labour Party.

Is this not the most bizarre time for the Lib Dems to be changing their leader?

As one of the rabbis who signed the letter I can categorically tell you we noticed and abhorred the in , we think for ourselves and the Israeli embassy were not involved at any point. This continued slur on our motives is unacceptable.

I have tried to speak to Mr Willsman but it was not possible to reach him. There is of course an invitation for a statement from Mr Willsman to be included here, and on any LBC show. Alternatively, he is welcome to appear on an LBC show of his choosing for interview.

Last year Willsman made similar comments, when he described the 68 rabbis who said anti-Semitism within the Labour was "widespread and severe” as Donald Trump "fanatics". He apologised for any offence caused and was allowed to continue to stand for Labour’s NEC.

Willsman is also the head of the influential Campaign for Labour Party Democracy. But more importantly, NEC members will be responsible for responding to the Equality and Human Rights Commission's investigation, announced earlier this week.

Willsman made the comments in January during meeting the American-Israeli author Tuvia Tenenbom, who was in the UK to write a book about the British. It was a chance meeting in Oxford but Mr Tenenbom used opportunity to see if Willsman could broker an interview with Corbyn.

Mr Willsman is of course a member of Labour's powerful NEC, the governing body responsible for responding the Equality and Human Rights Commission's investigation into anti-Semitism within the party.
