Corbyn's chickens coming home to roost
Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2018 8:31 am
The Jewish Leadership Council has stepped up its attack on Jeremy Corbyn, accusing him of being a figurehead for antisemitism and presiding over a party that has no safe spaces for Jews.
Speaking before a protest outside a meeting of Labour MPs, Jonathan Goldstein, chairman of the council, said Corbyn’s apology for “pockets of antisemitism” in the party was not enough.
In an interview for BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Goldstein said: “The time for words is over and the time for action is now important. The reality is there are no safe spaces online or in meetings for Jewish people within the Labour party.”
In a strongly-worded letter the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the council urged supporters to stage a show of solidarity outside parliament on Monday as Labour MPs hold their weekly meeting – which Corbyn is not planning to attend.
