EXCLUSIVE: Today Labour stands accused of failing to tell MPs when they have been threatened with violence.

It follows our story on Tuesday when we revealed the party had failed to report 21 potential race hate incidents and crimes to the police.

That brought accusations of a cover-up.

Today we can reveal party did not tell 10 if its own MPs if they had been victims of threats and abuse - most anti-Semitic - so they could report it to police.

They also didn't inform Mayor Sadiq Khan, who requires police protection.

The MPs were named in same dossier containing 45 anti-Semitism cases put before the National Executive Committee’s disputes panel in July.

One of the MPs named was Jewish Labour MP Dame Margaret Hodge, who was accused of being a member of the Zionist Party.

She told LBC:

Now on Tuesday, the Labour Party responded to LBC’s story by inferring it was not down to them to report cases to the police, but the victims of the threats and abuse.

This was the statement:

The question is: how can MPs report cases to the police if they do not even know about them in the first place?

Labour MP John Mann is furious. He now wants an inquiry. This is what he told LBC this morning.

LBC can now reveal Luciana Berger was the Labour MP who was threatened with "a good kicking" by one Labour Party member on Facebook.

The image is still available on the perpetrator’s Facebook page.

We also know the following from the document and other sources:

- Luciana’s abuser admitted he was responsible months ago for the post.

- He was not suspended from the party until very recently.

And while still remaining an active member of the Labour Party, the man continued to publish anti-Semitic material online to his 7,000 friends and followers.

They included the following:

And this one:

And finally this one:

Now somebody who posts such content would never be Facebook friends with a Labour MP, you would have thought?

But you would be wrong.

LBC is not releasing the man's name. We do not want to turn him into a figurehead for those who subscribe to this abuse. It’s an editorial decision, not a legal one.

Luciana is of course not alone.

In March this year, a party member from Yorkshire was suspended after he suggested Yvette Cooper - Home Affairs select committee chair - could be invited to a charity abseil. "Then we can throw (her) off the top - no ropes.”

Yvette Cooper was not told about the investigation.

Neither was Ruth Smeeth, accused online by same Labour member of lying and racism after she gave evidence against Marc Wadsworth.

He was booted out for heckling her during the launch of Chakrabarti AS report in 2016.
