LABOUR is being sued by expelled campaigner Marc Wadsworth, who submitted court papers today to launch the first legal case accusing the party of anti-black racism.
He was kicked out last year after being accused of anti-semitism and “bringing the party into disrepute.”
Mr Wadsworth argues that white Labour MPs such as Margaret Hodge, who has called party leader Jeremy Corbyn a “fucking racist and anti-semite,” have been immune from punishment, while he and other pro-Corbyn prominent activists, including black Jewish former Momentum vice-chair Jackie Walker and Black Activists Rising Against Cuts co-chair Lee Jasper, have faced disciplinary action or expulsion.
