Anti-Semitism row: Frank Field resigns Labour whip per BBC News

The BBC report https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45359009 on Frank Field's resigning the Labour whip thus:

'Veteran Labour MP Frank Field has quit the party's group in Parliament, saying the leadership is becoming "a force for anti-Semitism in British politics".

The Birkenhead MP also blamed a "culture of intolerance, nastiness and intimidation" in local parties.

A month ago he lost a confidence vote in his constituency party, after siding with the government in Brexit votes.

Jeremy Corbyn has apologised for hurt caused by anti-Semitism in the party and pledged to stamp it out.

A Labour Party spokesman said: "Jeremy Corbyn thanks Frank Field for his service to the Labour Party."'

A Labour MP with a strong moral compass, quite rare, how about it Kate Hoey?
