BREAKING: Former President of the Royal College of Physicians and Labour Peer Lord Turnberg has confirmed to #newsnight he too has resigned the whip.
We have approached the Labour Party for comment on this #newsnight
"I fear for the future of this party to which I have devoted myself for so many years," Lord Turnberg told #newsnight

"It is not just the policies on foreign affairs... not just Brexit vacillation... but the overt anti-Semitism that permeates the Party machine..."
The Labour Party has said it "completely rejects these false and offensive claims" of lack of action on anti-Semitism.

"Labour is taking decisive action against antisemitism, doubling the number of staff dedicated to dealing with complaints and cases," it said

Closed Facebook groups are private; only approved members can see their content.

On both pro and anti-Brexit groups, Newsnight found disinformation and abuse

#newsnight | @mariannaspring | @Lucy_Webster_
Some posts share links to known conspiracy or alt-right websites.

For example, several groups shared content from a website, Brexit Betrayal News, with links to the QAnon conspiracy bbc.in/2Wf56hZ
