Today's thread from me on #LabourAntisemitism
This time it's a current Labour councillor and chair of a Fire & Rescue Authority.

Meet Cllr John Edwards.
John is apparently "allergic to bigots" according to his Twitter profile. As someone who suffers from an autoimmune disease I may have some advice for him.

Anyway, what do we know about John?

Well, this is his reaction to a report about @rabbisacks 's concerns over Cobyn.
And this was John's response to calls to suspend Wavertree CLP - whose CLP Chair promotes Rothschild conspiracy theories.
Again, John defends the antisemitic attacks on @lucianaberger from her former CLP
This Lab councillor defends MP Chris Williamson after he was suspended for antisemitism.
Lab Cllr John Edwards propagates categorically false conspiracy theories alleging that Israel uses chemical weapons against Palestinians.
Which is presumably why he so strongly opposes the IHRA definition of antisemitism.
Cllr John Edwards has eager to promote fake news about the antisemitic abuse suffered by Jewish Labour MP @margarethodge
Finally, all of the above is now helpfully explained/contextualised by this tweet from Labour Cllr John Edwards, Chair of the West Midlands Fire & Rescue Authority.
This was John's response to a visit to Auschwitz by then PM David Cameron.
This poisonous tweet by a Lab councillor is a clear breach of the IHRA definition and seeks to draw a direct equivalence between the Holocaust & the Israel/Palestine conflict.
I am calling on @tom_watson to intervene and for the immediate suspension of @JohnEdwards33
