Labour MP's platform rally with Tony Greenstein

Brighton MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle has managed to establish quite the reputation as a firebrand during his four years in the Commons, most famously ranting on the night of the 2019 Tory victory that ‘we will fight them in the streets’.

In the eighteen months since, it has emerged he claimed the Conservatives ‘conspired to murder and let die British citizens’ and that he had accused JK Rowling in Tribune of using her own sexual assault as ‘justification for discriminating’ in a row over transgender rights. It also transpired that he had written social media posts suggesting Jewish claims to Israel were ‘not progressive in [their] very nature’ and that Zionism was a ‘dangerous nationalist idea’ – the last of which was followed shortly thereafter by his resignation from Starmer’s frontbench last July.
