The MP for Derby North, Chris Williamson has issued an apology after a video emerged of him criticising Labour's handling of Anti-Semitism.

He's to be investigated for his remarks, and has also been suspended by his party.

A Labour spokesman said: "These comments are deeply offensive and inappropriate and fall below the standards we expect of MP's.

 

"Chris Williamson has rightly apologised and withdrawn his remarks, and has been issued with a notice of investigation for a pattern of behaviour."
