in case anybody's not willing to trust a screencap from Facebook:

Angela Eagle homophobia claims ‘completely untrue’

... several of those who attended the meeting have refuted the accusation – claiming that Ms Eagle was not even at the meeting in question.

Kathy Runswick – Chair of the Wallasey Constituency – told PinkNews that the allegation was “completely untrue”.

“Angela Eagle was not at the Wallasey Labour Party AGM and thus could not have ‘faced homophobic abuse’,” she added.

“There is zero tolerance of homophobia in Wallasey Labour Party, and the Constituency Labour Party will now fully investigate these new allegations.

Jowell hasn't responded to repeated media requests for comment about her claims.
