AN MP was branded a “Jew b***h” online more than 2,500 times in three days in a far-right hate campaign, a court heard.
Former Labour MP Luciana Berger was bombarded with abuse after an image was tweeted to her account with the hashtag #HitlerWasRight.
In the image, a star was imposed on her forehead, mimicking Nazi imagery used to target Jews.
Expert Professor Matthew Feldman said: “In the space of three days the hashtag ‘Jew b***h’ was tweeted at Luciana Berger more than 2,500 times.”
He said it showed the banned far-right group National Action had a “vehemently racist creed”.
The abuse emerged in the trial of four people accused of being members of the group.
