'Jeremy Corbyn was at the centre of a new row over social media trolls last night after one of his supporters called for a Labour MP to be 'hanged'.
Labour said it had launched an investigation into messages – unearthed by The Mail on Sunday – targeting Enfield North MP Joan Ryan, who said during the General Election that many Labour supporters had 'more confidence in Theresa May as Prime Minister' than in party leader Mr Corbyn.
Beverly Krell, a Labour member from Manchester, attached Ms Ryan's comment to a tweet headlined 'We support Jeremy Corbyn', with the remark: 'If anybody has a rope and a tree, I'm ready'.
She also accused Ms Ryan of 'dual allegiance' and 'treason' for her role as Chair of Labour Friends of Israel. In other posts, Mrs Krell threatened to kill 'Zionists' with an AK-47 assault rifle and dismissed the Holocaust as 'regurgitated'.'
