Journalist Owen Jones has been booted out of Labour conference with the party citing concerns about safeguarding.
The Jeremy Corbyn supporter accused Labour of “Trumpian behaviour”, and said he’d never has his pass revoked before.
Writing on X, he said: “Labour has cancelled my Conference Pass. Absolutely pathetic, Trumpian behaviour.
“They are here suggesting that attempts to question Cabinet members and MPs about Britain facilitating Israel’s genocide is a ‘safeguarding issue’.
“This is clearly insane.”
Explaining its decision in an email to the Guardian journalist, the party insisted it was a “safeguarding issue”.
It said: “We have a responsibility to safeguard all our delegates, staff, volunteers, and visitors, and to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone at conference.
“After careful consideration, we’ve concluded that we cannot continue your attendance while ensuring we meet our safeguarding obligations to all attendees.
“We hope you’ll understand that this decision was made with everyone’s wellbeing in mind”.
