Mishcon de Reya is acting for Labour MP Dame Margaret Hodge on disciplinary action taken against her after she accused party leader Jeremy Corbyn of antisemitism.

Hodge, the MP for Barking, is facing a party investigation following allegations that she breached Labour Party rules regarding "abusive conduct in parliament".

Following the party's adoption of a new code of conduct on antisemitism, Hodge reportedly approached Corbyn and described him as "a f*****g antisemite and a racist".

Hodge denies the use of profanity, but has stood by her criticism.

In a letter shared on Twitter by Hodge, Mishcon questioned the "fairness and legitimacy" of the investigation, citing the Labour Party's failure to identify the specific allegations against Hodge and describing it as a "failure of basic due process".

The letter states: "Our client finds herself in an impossible situation of an investigation being opened against her in relation to which she has no knowledge of the particular allegations under investigation."

Mishcon also claims that the party has made "no attempt whatsoever" to explain how Hodge breached party rules and that it is "perverse" that the same rule used in cases of antisemitism in the party is being "invoked against out client voicing her concern that antisemitism has not been properly dealt with".

The law firm goes on to request that the details of the allegations against Hodge be made clear and that the rules of the disciplinary procedure be laid out.

The firm also represented pro-EU campaigner Gina Miller in her successful case against the government regarding the triggering of Article 50. In January, the Supreme Court ruled that the government could only trigger Article 50 after parliament had voted to begin the process of leaving the European Union.
