Ruth Smeeth (born 29 June 1979) is a British Labour Party politician who was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Stoke-on-Trent North at the 2015 General Election.[1]

On 30 June 2016, Ruth Smeeth stormed out of the press conference when Jeremy Corbyn responded to the report by the Chakrabarti Inquiry into Anti-Semitism in the Labour Party.[2]

A former BICOM spin doctor, Smeeth later called for the resignation of Jeremy Corbyn.[3]

Funded by Israel lobby

It has since emerged that after becoming an MP, Smeeth continues to be funded by the Israel lobby.

The register for legislators’ financial interests shows that Smeeth declared a donation of £5,000 ($6,200) from Poju Zabludowicz’s company Tamares Real Estates in June 2016. She declared a donation worth £2,500 ($3,100) from Trevor Chinn, former chair of the Kwit-Fit chain of motor garages, at the same time.

Zabludowicz is the billionaire property speculator who was once reported to own 40 percent of downtown Las Vegas. He used his wealth, inherited from his Israeli arms dealer father, to establish BICOM, the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre.

Chinn, who sits on BICOM’s executive committee, has long been a Labour donor, and has funded leadership rivals to pro-Palestinian Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.[4]
