Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been criticised for attending an event organised by a left wing group critical of mainstream Jewish organisations.
It comes hours after Mr Corbyn promised "watertight" investigations into claims of anti-Semitism within his party.
Photographs on the Guido Fawkes website appear to show Mr Corbyn meeting members of Jewdas to mark the Jewish festival of Seder.
One Labour MP called his actions "irresponsible and dangerous".
Jewdas has accused the Jewish Board of Deputies, Jewish Leadership Council and Jewish Labour Movement of "playing a dangerous game" and previously dismissed anti-Semitism allegations as right-wing smears.
In a tweet, Labour MP John Woodcock said meeting the group gave the message that "extreme views are OK".
