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.
