An investigation into Williamson over a 'pattern of behaviour' related to anti-Semitism was announced earlier today, but some furious MPs called for the whip to be removed.
On Wednesday morning, Williamson was issued with a notice of investigation, but was expected to remain a member of the Parliamentary Labour Party while the investigation is ongoing.
"Before Formby, an ordinary member who behaved like this would have been suspended long ago," one source with detailed knowledge of Labour's disciplinary processes said."Is his behaviour 'prejudicial and/or grossly detrimental to the Labour Party'? Undoubtedly yes. Would suspending him help protect the party's reputation? Again, yes. So he would almost certainly have been suspended.
Ilford North MP Wes Streeting agreed, adding:"Zero tolerance must mean zero tolerance. He should be suspended immediately. Under any other leader this would have happened."
