Chris Williamson suing Labour over re-suspension for claiming party 'too apologetic' on anti-Semitism
'Chris Williamson is suing Labour over his re-suspension for claiming the party was "too apologetic" on anti-Semitism.
The strong supporter of Jeremy Corbyn is preparing for court action in a bid to get readmitted to the party.
He was suspended in February after telling a meeting of Momentum that Labour was being “demonised” over the crisis.
The suspension was lifted in July by Labour's National Executive Committee and the Derby North MP was given a formal warning.
But it was re-imposed two days later after an outcry from MPs and Jewish groups.
The case is currently being considered by a new anti-Semitism panel.
Mr Williamson said he hopes to "overturn the unconstitutional decision" to re-impose his suspension from the "party I love".
A source close to him said legal papers had already been filed in court.
No further information was immediately provided.
Labour is understood to be confident its rules were followed and that there will be no successful grounds for a challenge.'
