Noticed I haven't updated the #ToryAntisemitism file in 2022. Some more entries, in light of Liz Truss's bad faith weaponisation of antisemitism, which she blames on the "woke".
April: photos found of an Enfield Tory in full Nazi regalia in a back garden. jewishnews.co.uk/exclusive-enfi…
Also April: Hertsmere Labour candidate told “go to the gas chambers”, labelled a “Jew c**t, and told that he “lacked a Jewish soul” in smear campaign led bf five Tory councillors.
"Jews r at it again"
More #ToryAntisemitism from April: second Bury Conservative candidate suspended for antisemitic social media posts. manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…
Yet more #ToryAntisemitism from April:
(ex-UKIP) Tory councillor in Derbyshire is a David Icke fan with a history of antisemitic social media posts about "zionist controllers” and “Jewish supremacism”.

I mean, I could go on...
Update on one of the #ToryAntisemitism stories above (HT @SteveHarlie):
According to @PrivateEyeNews, it seems that Oliver Dowden was involved in the Conservative party changing their rulebook to let 5 Hertsmere activists mildly reprimanded for some heavy antisemitism to appeal.
Pretty awful case of #ToryAntisemitism (or ex-Tory antisemitism, as I think this disgraced ex-politician left the party coupe of years ago).
He’s deleted,saying he “didn’t notice the antiemitic nature of the cartoon”. (Yes he said “antiemitic”.) The other racism’s presumably ok.
