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.
To make matters worse, some of the material shared by Mr Mcdonough was from websites full of Neo-Nazi and white supremacist content.
The complainant received an acknowledgement when he raised the material with officials in the disciplinary unit. But nothing happened.
Keir Starmer's quotes from Sunday after the EHRC vote:
“We have closed the door this evening to anti-Semitism in the Labour Party. We’ve turned our back on the dark chapter.
“Having closed that door, that door will never be opened again in our Labour Party to anti-Semitism."
As one Labour member put it to me this morning: "Keir Starmer may have taken up the welcome mat for anti-Semites, but he hasn't closed the door."

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.
