9 lawmakers have quit the party in previous months, citing concerns of growing anti-Semitism
In the UK, another scandal at the Labour party: a senior Labour lawmaker is calling for the suspension of another Member of Parliament, while an investigation into allegations of anti-Semitism takes place.
Dame Louise Ellman says Lisa Forbes should be suspended, after it emerged Forbes had liked a Facebook post that said British Prime Minister Theresa May had a “Zionist Slave Masters agenda.”
Forbes also commented on a post that repeated the conspiracy theory that the Mossad and CIA are behind the Islamic State terror group, writing, “I have enjoyed reading this thread so much.
The Jewish Labour Movement also called for Forbes to be suspended.
Forbes has said it was a misunderstanding and apologized. The incident is just the latest scandal to rock Labour, which has been dogged by allegations of anti-Semitism in recent months.
In April, the Sunday Times reported that the party under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership has failed to take action against hundreds of cases of anti-Semitism by party members despite more than 850 recorded complaints.
Nine Labour party lawmakers have quit the party in previous months, citing concerns of growing anti-Semitism amid the party loyal.

Muslim Jewish London Roots
Muslim Jewish London Roots is about bringing together young Londoners from the Jewish and Muslim faith to talk about their history and place in the British society.
FRF was set up to encourage greater interfaith action. This project was a part of that narrative, and we hoped to bring together youth from Muslim and Jewish communities to discuss issues which were not political, religious or controversial. Thus, our project hoped to achieve a common ground between two faith groups who have found it a struggle to come together on issues other than those of an international nature, especially the youth.
There are initiatives which are slowly taking place which FRF is involved in on a local level- such as Mitzvah Day and we worked with the organisers of Mitzvah Day for a Year of Service during the Diamond Jubilee. However, this project sought a very different result which was based on learning lessons from the past and taking forward a message of cohesion. Furthermore, appreciating our common heritage and celebrating the way that both the Muslim and Jewish communities have left a significant footprint in the East End of London.
We wanted to allow the youth involved in this project to come together to learn and express themselves through different mediums. These included- written, spoken and artistic. The change we hoped to create was a shift in mindsets and a realization that all new communities go through a struggle.
The project aimed to:
a) Create a platform for Muslim and Jewish youth to interact with one another in order to understand the shared heritage and common roots in the East End of London.
b) Promote through innovative means, the history of how the Muslim and Jewish faith communities have settled in London, specifically the East End of London, during the 20th century.
c) Provide a platform for newer and older generations to interact for the purpose of learning and preserving history.

Madame Tussauds London, full tour
Camera used in this video:
Wikipedia:
Madame Tussauds (UK: /tjuːˈsɔːdz/, US: /tuːˈsoʊz/)[1][N. 1] is a wax museum in London; it has smaller museums in a number of other major cities. It was founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud. It used to be spelled as Madame Tussaud's; the apostrophe is no longer used.[2][3] Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London, displaying the waxworks of famous and historical figures, as well as popular film and television characters from famous actors.
Background
Marie Tussaud was born as Marie Grosholtz in 1761 in Strasbourg, France. Her mother worked for Philippe Curtius in Bern, Switzerland, who was a physician skilled in wax modeling. Curtius taught Tussaud the art of wax modelling beginning when she was a child. He moved to Paris and took his young apprentice, then only 6 years old, with him.[4]
Grosholtz created her first wax sculpture in 1777 of Voltaire.[5][6] At the age of 17, she became the art tutor to Madame Elizabeth, the sister of King Louis XVI of France, at the Palace of Versailles. During the French Revolution, she was imprisoned for three months and awaiting execution, but was released after the intervention of an influential friend.[4] Other famous people whom she modelled included Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Benjamin Franklin. During the Revolution, she made models of many prominent victims.[7]
Grosholtz inherited Curtius's vast collection of wax models following his death in 1794. For the next 33 years she travelled around Europe with a touring show from the collection. She married Francois Tussaud in 1795 and took his surname. She renamed her show as Madame Tussaud's. In 1802, she accepted an invitation from Paul Philidor, a lantern and phantasmagoria pioneer, to exhibit her work alongside his show at the Lyceum Theatre, London. She did not fare particularly well financially, with Philidor taking half of her profits.
She was unable to return to France because of the Napoleonic Wars, so she traveled throughout Great Britain and Ireland exhibiting her collection. From 1831, she took a series of short leases on the upper floor of Baker Street Bazaar (on the west side of Baker Street, Dorset Street, and King Street).[8] This site was later featured in the Druce-Portland case sequence of trials of 1898–1907. This became Tussaud's first permanent home in 1836.
Madame Tussaud's wax museum became a major tourist attraction in London. Until 2010 it incorporated the London Planetarium in its west wing. A large animated dark ride, The Spirit of London, opened in 1993. Today's wax figures at Tussauds include historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars, and famous murderers. It has been known since 2007 as Madame Tussauds museums (no apostrophe).
In July 2008, Madame Tussauds' Berlin branch became embroiled in controversy when a 41-year-old German man brushed past two guards and decapitated a wax figure depicting Adolf Hitler. This was believed to be an act of protest against showing the ruthless dictator alongside sports heroes, movie stars, and other historical figures. The statue has since been repaired, and the perpetrator has admitted that he attacked the statue to win a bet.[20] The original model of Hitler was unveiled in Madame Tussauds London in April 1933; it was frequently vandalised and a 1936 replacement had to be carefully guarded.[21][22][23] In January 2016, the statue of Adolf Hitler was removed from the London museum in response to an open letter sent by a staff writer of The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, followed by significant support for its removal from social media.[24]
The first Madame Tussauds in India opened in New Delhi on 1 December 2017. Its operator, Merlin Entertainments, planned an investment of 50 million pounds over the next 10 years.[25][26][27] It features over 50 wax models, including political and entertainment figures such as Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Sachin Tendulkar, Kim Kardashian, Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Asha Bhosle, Kapil Dev, and Mary Kom.
