Default Jeremy Corbyn branded 'anti-Semite' by Labour MP

By his own people this time....


The Labour leader is told he's an "anti-Semite" and "racist" by a Jewish MP amid a row over the party's anti-Semitism definition.




Dame Margaret told Mr Corbyn he is an "anti-Semite and a racist", adding: "You have proved you don't want people like me in the party".

The row flared after Labour's ruling body approved on Tuesday the adoption of a new code of conduct on anti-Semitism, despite calls for it to be toughened.

Earlier this week, 68 of the UK's senior rabbis penned a joint letter in which they accused the Labour leadership of acting in "the most insulting and arrogant way" by rewriting an internationally-adopted definition of anti-Semitism.

The group called on Labour to adopt the unamended International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism, including all its examples, in their new code of conduct.

Labour MPs and peers also overwhelmingly backed the demands for the party to change the way it defines anti-Semitism at a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party on Monday.

However, Labour's National Executive Committee upheld the adoption of the code of conduct on Tuesday.

But, it omits four examples from the IHRA list:

:: Accusing Jewish people of being more loyal to Israel than their home country;

:: Claiming that Israel's existence as a state is a racist endeavour;

:: Requiring higher standards of behaviour from Israel than other nations;

:: Comparing contemporary Israeli policies to those of the Nazis.
