The Morning Star used its front page today to attack the Yorkshire Post as a “hypocrite newspaper” for reporting a Labour MP’s comments on anti-Semitism while continuing to publish a “race row” ex-Tory MP’s columns.

The Post was first to reveal this week that Chris Williamson MP had told a Momentum meeting in Sheffield that Labour had been “too apologetic” over the anti-Semitism allegations that continue to plague the party.

The Morning Star headline read: “Hypocrite newspaper ran race row Tory’s columns”. The strapline read: “Media double standards.”
