A SENIOR backbench MP has called for activists to take part in a Twitterstorm tomorrow evening backing Labour’s anti-semitism code.

The campaign supports Labour’s national executive committee (NEC’s) adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition, but with guidance to accompany the IHRA’s examples of anti-semitism, which Labour says is intended to prevent political criticism of Israel being conflated with anti-Jewish prejudice.

The Twitterstorm – backed by groups including Jewish Voice for Labour and the Jewish Socialist Group – calls on supporters of the NEC position to support the #backthecode campaign on Twitter and Facebook from 7pm tomorrow.
