Top Corbynista Laura Pidcock is very particular about who she “hangs out” with – Tory MPs are beyond the pale, but apparently notorious anti-Zionist Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi is fine. Last night Pidcock tweeted a video of a far-left Labour Representation Committee event where she is speaking alongside Wimbourne, who readers will remember:

• Is on record accusing Israel of “exploiting” the Holocaust to “commit crimes against humanity”
• Denies Labour has an anti-Semitism problem
• Accused Labour MP Ruth Smeeth, who is Jewish, of fabricating anti-Semitic incidents
• Reduced Labour MP Alison McGovern to tears during a hostile radio interview
• Chaired the now notorious fringe at Labour conference where calls were made to “kick out” Jewish groups from the party and Israelis were compared to “Nazis”
