While his colleagues were sending messages of condolences to the Jewish community, the Derby North MP shared a link from the far-left blog Skwawkbox of an article titled: “Board of Deputies president accused of using an antisemitic trope.”

He wrote: “Well, well blow me down with a feather.”

Baroness Jenny Tonge was also criticised for her response to the shooting.

On Facebook, she asked her followers if it ever occurs to “Bibi and the present Israeli government that it’s actions against Palestinians may be reignighting antisemitism?”

In 2016, she was suspended from the party after she hosted an event at the House of Lords where audience members compared Israel to Isis terrorists and suggested Jews were to blame for the Holocaust.
