Specialist officers will look into whether party members broke the law when making a series of offensive comments about Jews.

Cressida Dick, the Met Police commissioner, said she would ask hate crime experts to investigate after being presented with evidence of Labour members appearing to call for Jews to be murdered.

In one post, a member wrote: “We shall rid the Jews who are a cancer on us all.”

Referring to Jewish people as “devils” and suggesting the Red Sea would be an “ideal destination” for them, they added: “No need for gas chambers anyway as gas is so expensive and we need it in England.”

Another person called for a Jewish MP to “get a good kicking”.

A third wrote: “One cannot understand the state of the world without understanding Jewish power, and one cannot understand the nature of Jewish power until one understands the nature of Jewish thinking.”

But tell me again that it’s just legitimate criticism of Israel.
