Diane Abbott's local Labour branch has been dragged into a new anti-Semitism row after saying it was a 'scandal' to describe the party as racist.
The Hackney North and Stoke Newington Constituency Labour Party (CLP) voted in favour of a measure on Thursday night blasting the idea that Jeremy Corbyn's party was 'institutionally anti-Semitic'.
It came the day after Mr Corbyn's friend and ally Chris Williamson was suspended for saying Labour had been 'too apologetic' about anti-Jewish abuse claims, prompting uproar from MPs.
The motion was passed by 45 votes to 35, with 14 abstentions, with those opposed to it left in tears, the Jewish Chronicle reported.

Derby North's Chris Williamson was suspended from Labour on Wednesday as the party investigates his recent behaviour, following pressure from other MPs
It said the CLP 'notes with increasing alarm the acceptance of the 'fact' that the Labour Party is 'institutionally anti-Semitic' by not only the media, but the right wing of the PLP (Parliamentary Labour Party).
'It is distracting people's attention away from the calamitous consequences of the Tory government's continuing austerity and its disastrous handling of the Brexit issue as it nears the 29 March deadline.
'It is a scandal that we are allowing ourselves to be branded as a racist party.'
Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy was among those who criticised the backing for the document.

Local Labour member Patrick Moule posted the motion on Twitter and voiced his disgust at what had happened
She said: 'What on earth is going on in Hackney North Labour that such a motion can be put forward?'
Local Labour member Patrick Moule posted a picture of the motion on Twitter, saying: 'Hackney North CLP passed this utter disgrace of a motion this evening, 45 votes to 35.
'Jewish members bravely spoke up and their lived experience was ignored and denied.
'I feel ashamed and bereft that my political home of over a decade has sunk so low.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
