I have just been been forcibly removed from the JVL fringe event at the Labour Party. It is an official event in the Labour Party guide.
I was assaulted by Tony Greenstein, who was in the event, and was expelled from the Labour Party for anti-semitism. This is the moment he grabbed my phone.
Allowed back in.

Now listening to one speaker declare the EHRC findings are being used by “Starmer to run a tyrannical regime”.
This isn’t some sideline demo.

It’s in the official Labour Party fringe guide.

See below…
Speaker continues to applause to ask why “anti-Semitism is a special case?” - goes on to accuse Sir Keir of failing to stand up for black and Asian members.
Chair of the JVL Jenny Manson is speaking now. She thanks former shadow chancellor John McDonnell for attending the event.

I was accused of trying to film Mr McDonnell when I was assaulted by Tony Greenstein. I wasn’t.

New: On Sunday, Keir Starmer said he had "closed the door" on anti-Semitism in Labour.

But LBC has discovered one member who shared vile content on Facebook was until yesterday at the Brighton conference, despite an official complaint being made nearly two months ago.
Labour sources say that Tony Mcdonough has now been suspended from the party and has had his conference pass revoked.

But on August 2, a complaint was made to the party. Nothing appears to have been done and Mr Mcdonough was allowed to attend conference.
These are some of the posts he shared. ImageImageImage

Keir Starmer tells @LBC people in Hartlepool are worried about “jobs, jobs, jobs”.

He says the fight for the seat was “always going to be tough” after 2019.

*Jeremy Corbyn won the seat twice in 2017 and 2019.
Nick Ferrari puts the Survation poll to Sir Keir that the Tories have a 17 point lead in Hartlepool.

But he admits that “nobody is particularly interested in the details” of wallpaper-gate.
Starmer - on Survation/GMB poll: "I'm well aware that in Hartlepool, we've got to earn every vote."

Whilst he said people weren't interested in details of PM's flat, he says "general sense" there "is one rule for them and another rule for everybody else" is "breaking through".

Keir Starmer goes first with “bodies pile high” comment at the end of October.

PM on the record, in the Commons, says he didn’t make the comment.

Starmer says it would be a breach of the ministerial code if PM is wrong and knowingly misled Commons in his reply. High stakes.
Starmer then accuses PM of “nipping out of meetings” during start of the pandemic to sort the redecoration of his flat.

Moves on to flat. Asks whether Lord Brownlow donated £58k for flat refurb.

PM doesn’t answer the question.
Starmer draws in Electoral Commission. “Incredibly serious” that they have launched investigation. Does PM believe any rules were broken?

“No, I don’t” replies the PM. Insists people care about other things, especially when he has said “umpteen times” he paid for the wallpaper.

Priti Patel tells @LBC "everyone knows her view" on prison sentences, when asked about ten-year terms for people who lie on their passenger locator forms.
Caller Jeremy wants to know why Boris Johnson didn't listen to her view to close the borders at the start of the first wave last year.

PP says decision based on Sage advice.

"We all have active debate. We all air our views, we have taken a collective decision."
Next up Alan, a PC forced to retire due to injury.

"Why are the police not be prioritised for the vaccine?"

Priti Patel says some forces have "informal arrangements" with Clinical Commissioning Groups to get hold of the vaccine.

New: City Hall quango London & Partners has held talks with company linked to oppression of Uygurs.

iFlytek provides voice recognition technology to police in China’s Xinxiang province. It’s on a list of companies banned by US.

MIT and Rutgers uni severed ties.

But not L&P.
Detailed with a quarterly report published last April, L&P revealed it had a "new significant project" with iFlytek.

But in 2017, Human Rights Watch found the company had been working with Chinese police to develop technology intended to identify targeted voices in phone calls.
.@TomTugendhat - chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee - told @LBC he thinks @SadiqKhan should "reject" the company.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock on healthcare reforms says "now exactly the right time" to help NHS staff help patients "with less bureaucracy".

"Some of the rules set in legislation need to change and I'm glad the reception to these proposals has been so positive," he says.
Ferrari: Yes, but when will nurses get their pay rise?

Matt Hancock: "I've got to wait for the independent pay review body."
Matt Hancock says "we have all been saying the same thing, that there is uncertainty".

"What we all know is that in time of pandemic there is uncertainty. We have lived with that for the past year and people know that."
