<p>The 44-year-old man was arrested in Newham on Wednesday and is in police custody.</p>
<p>An investigation was launched into alleged anti-Semitism among party members in November after a dossier of evidence was handed to Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick.</p>
<p>A Met Police spokesman said: <em>“We can confirm police have arrested a fourth man, aged 44, on Wednesday, 1 May, on suspicion of an offence contrary to Section 19 Public Order Act 1986 – publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Anti-Semitism has no place in our society and we are committed to challenging and campaigning against it in all its forms.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>“A warrant was executed at an address in Newham. The man is currently in police custody.”</em></p>
<p>Three others were arrested in March on suspicion of publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred.</p>
<p>They were a man in his 50s, arrested in Birmingham on March 7, a second man in his 50s held in Tunbridge Wells on March 14 and a woman in her 70s in Wandsworth, south London, on March 21. All three have been released pending further inquiries.</p>
<p>The investigation was prompted by an internal Labour dossier detailing anti-Semitic messages on social media allegedly posted by Labour Party members, which was obtained by LBC radio.</p>

<p>Reports at the time suggested the documents included details of 45 cases, including one which allegedly read: <em>“We shall rid the Jews who are a cancer on us all.”</em></p>
<p>It is understood that disciplinary action was taken by Labour against the three individuals believed to be under investigation, and they are no longer party members.</p>
<p>A party spokesman said Labour was committed to challenging anti-Semitism.</p>
<p>He said: <em>“We welcome the police investigating these individuals’ alleged crimes.</em></p>
<p><em>“Anti-Semitism has no place in our society and we are committed to challenging and campaigning against it in all its forms.”</em></p>
