Mandelson: Labour must stamp out anti-Semitism

World at One

Available for over a year

Lord Mandelson says the Labour Party must stamp out any anti-Semitism after a party member was suspended for a second time. A Labour Party spokeswoman said Vicki Kirby, vice chair of the Woking constituency party, was now being investigated. Ms Kirby was first suspended in 2014 for making anti-Semitic comments but later reinstated. She was forced to stand down as an election candidate after tweets including one suggesting Hitler was a "Zionist God". Lord Mandelson told Mark Mark Mardell said 99% of the Labour Party would have nothing to do with anti-Semitism and any members of the party who did had to be confronted.
