Full-throated: David Cameron attacked the activist in the Commons
Labour have kicked out a hard-left activist after David Cameron condemned his supposed support for 9/11 bombers and ISIS terrorists in the House of Commons.
Gerry Downing, whose blog on the Socialist Fight website caused a major stir, was expelled just hours after the attack at Prime Minister's Questions.
He hit out at the expulsion, his second in a year, with a furious statement saying his comments had been "distorted" and he would never support terrorists.
But a Labour spokesman claimed the decision was taken over "further evidence that has come to light" since he was readmitted before Christmas.
The Tory leader launched an attack on Jeremy Corbyn for not condemning Mr Downing, saying: "As party leaders we have a responsibility for our own parties."
He told the Commons: "I was completely appalled to see that the Labour party has readmitted someone to the party who says that the 9/11 suicide bombers “must never be ‘condemned’” and who belongs to an organisation that says 'We defend the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq'.
"Those are appalling views and I hope the Leader of the Opposition will throw this person out of the party, rather than welcoming him in."
Aides to the Labour leader indicated after the session that the situation was being considered.
And late last night a Labour spokesman said: "Following further evidence that has come to light Gerry Downing has now been excluded from the Labour Party by the NEC panel."
Mr Downing launched a lengthy attack on Labour's ruling NEC and "political scoundrels" including the Prime Minister after the decision.
Clash: Jeremy Corbyn did not condemn the comments at PMQs
He wrote: "I will not accept being expelled for the outright lies that are now circulating about me and the politics of Socialist Fight.
"To make it absolutely clear: I do not politically support ISIS and have never done or said so. I do not support the 9/11 attack and have never said so.
"I do not support anti-semitism and have never done so.
"I profoundly regret that the Labour party NEC has been panicked into expelling me once more without a hearing based on these distorted and out of context quotations.

Good riddance! A pr*t who seems to have swallowed the 'Official Narrative' on 9/11 and Islamic State, and condemns 'Conspiracy Theories'.
Typical Left-Wing hierarchy mumbo-jumbo re 9/11; typical 'Blowback Theory' nonsense.
As an aside, notice how many times his tongue slips out of his mush; that won't mean much to most, but I recognise it as I have come across it so many times personally, sometimes to an extreme degree.
It is a non-intentional Satanic manifestation from a person's subconscious. _________________ 'And he (the devil) said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them'. Luke IV 5-7.
