The controversial vice-chairman of left-wing activist group Momentum will be speaking in Canterbury on Monday.

Jackie Walker, briefly suspended from the Labour Party earlier this year amid accusations of anti-Semitism, will meet fellow members of the grass roots movement credited ensuring with Jeremy Corbyn's leadership victory a year ago.

Defining herself as black and Jewish, Ms Walker will discuss her suspension and the future of Momentum after the Labour leadership contest concludes on September 24.

Labour suspended her in May after she branded Jewish people the "chief financiers of the sugar and slave trade".

In a Facebook post, she wrote: "I’m sure you know, millions more Africans were killed in the African Holocaust and their oppression continues today on a global scale in a way it doesn’t for Jews...and many Jews (my ancestors too) were the chief financiers of the sugar and slave trade which is of course why there were so many early synagogues in the Caribbean."

After her re-admittance to the party, Ms Walker, who is also vice-chairman of the Thanet Labour Party, was unapologetic.

She said: "I will never apologise for being an Internationalist, for holding all life as precious, for not valorising one genocide, one holocaust, over any other.

"And if you ask if I think anti-Semitism is a major problem in the Labour Party I would give almost the same response as the one I was suspended for – 'No' but with one amendment: anti-Semitism is not a major problem, the suspension process is."

Kate Adams, of Canterbury Momentum, described the charges of anti-Semitism against Ms Walker as "baseless".

She said: "Jackie will also be talking to us about the role of Momentum and the future of the organization following the result of the leadership election.

"She will also be speaking about her experiences a black Jewish woman who successfully fought her suspension from the Labour Party on baseless charges of anti-Semitism."

The result of the contest between Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and challenger Owen Smith will be announced at the Labour leadership conference on September 24.

The Canterbury Momentum meeting takes place at 7.30pm on Monday in the Umbrella Centre in St Peter's Place.
