Sadiq Khan has been on the receiving end of a barrage of abuse including antisemitism after backing Owen Smith to be Labour’s next leader.
The London mayor was highly critical of the current leader and his role in the EU referendum campaign in an article for the Observer, hours before ballot papers were sent out in the two-way leadership contest.
Soon after his article was published, he received a number of messages suggesting he had been influenced by Jews. One asked “Who owns you @sadiqkhan?”, alongside a picture of a kippah-wearing mayor eating matzah during an event ahead of Pesach.
