Thank god the people saw through the traitor, Herr Corbyn and his Nasty party.

The Met Police says six people were arrested as part of the inquiry, with five files passed to the Crown Prosecution Service.

Charges could be brought against five people as part of an investigation into alleged antisemitism by Labour members.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick has revealed that six people were arrested last year as part of the inquiry, with five files being passed to the Crown Prosecution Service.

The probe was sparked by an internal Labour dossier detailing antisemitic messages on social media allegedly posted by party members, which was obtained by radio station LBC in 2018.

Reports suggested the documents included details of 45 cases, including one which allegedly read: "We shall rid the Jews who are a cancer on us all."

Speaking about the files being passed to the Crown Prosecution Service and whether any charges would be brought, Dame Cressida told LBC radio: "It is for the CPS to decide.



"It is a very complex crime type, to be honest - there is a lot for them to look at and a lot for them to consider as to whether there is either sufficient evidence to charge and whether it is in the public interest so to do."


The party has previously welcomed the police investigation, saying: "Antisemitism has no place in our society and we are committed to challenging and campaigning against it in all its forms."

Those arrested, who were all held on suspicion of publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred, were:

A man in his 50s, who was held in March 2019 on suspicion of publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred. He was interviewed under caution at a custody suite in Birmingham and later released under investigation. A file was submitted to the CPS in September.
A second man in his 50s was arrested in the same month on suspicion of publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred after a warrant was executed at an address in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. He was interviewed under caution at a police station in the county and released under investigation. A file was also submitted to the CPS in September.

A woman in her 70s was held in March following the execution of a warrant at a home in the London borough of Wandsworth on suspicion of the same offence. She was interviewed under caution at a south London police station and released under investigation. A file was sent to the CPS in September.

In May, a man in his 40s was arrested on suspicion of publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred after a warrant was executed at a property in the London borough of Newham. He was released under investigation, with a file being submitted to the CPS in September.

A man in his 60s was interviewed under caution in July on suspicion of publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred, following the execution of a warrant at a home in Bradford. He was released under investigation and enquiries continue.

A second man in his 60s was interviewed under caution in July, with a file being passed to the CPS in September.
