(Jewish Group) Labour councillor who said rabbi was paid to criticise Corbyn suspended by party

A Labour councillor in London has been suspended by the party after the JC unearthed social media posts where she said a Rabbi was paid to criticise former party leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Joy Wallace, who is affiliated with the Momentum faction on Haringey council, also called Countdown's Jewish star Rachel Riley a “witch” for opposing the former Labour leader in now-deleted posts.

In the tweet from 2020 – one of several highlighted by Labour Against Antisemitism (LAAS) – Ms Wallace responded to a post which said: “Rachel Riley apologises after she weighs in on Wiley fiasco with Jedward dig.”

Ms Wallace wrote: “But not for having Corbyn in a noose on her T-shirt [referring to a controversial T-shirt worn by the Countdown star] or as a Nazi.”
