Professor David Miller has resigned from Labor party blaming “the Zionist movement” only weeks after he was suspended from the party over allegations that did not involve antisemitism claims.

Iran PressEurope: The Bristol University sociology lecturer confirmed in a statement he had received two letters from Labour’s Governance and Legal Unit outlining allegations which meant he “may be in breach” of party rules.

But announcing his decision to resign ahead of the conclusion of the investigations into his conduct, Miller wrote that he believed his suspension “has much to do with my record of evidence-based research on the Zionist movement and its influence on the British left and British politics more widely”.

He added that “my work shows the Zionist movement is an actually existing transnational network of organizations, which work tirelessly to justify Israel’s ongoing dispossession of the Palestinians. It works in collaboration with the leading Western imperial powers, most obviously the US and the UK.”

In April the JC reported on Prof Miller's appearance in an online broadcast hosted by former Labour MP Chris Williamson, entitled ‘Debate on the contents of and the fallout from the LabourLeaks document’.

During the broadcast, the lecturer said, Sir Keir is "obviously not going to" conduct "a proper investigation" into the leaked Labour antisemitism report because he has been "in receipt of money from the Zionist movement."
