MP says she had to 'mansplain' antisemitism to John McDonnell

At least one MP hasn't fallen for John Mcdonnell's Mr Nice Guy act. 

'In an interview with the Evening Standard this week, Ms Moran said: "I had to mansplain antisemitism to him."

"The people who put it up were called London Palestine Action. As a Palestinian they don't speak for me, and they are blatantly racist signs. You don't say a whole country is racist."

She also mocked the claim that Mr McDonnell, 67, was "on a journey" regarding Israel and antisemitism.

"I was like 'really?' You're 60 something years old, come on. If you haven't realised by now that this is antisemitism no wonder there's a problem in the Labour Party," she told the Standard.'

Layla Moran, the first ever MP of Palestinian origin, is a Lib Dem MP.
