Jeremy, it's time to call their bluff
Many of those complaining about the Labour leader have refused to meet him. The reason for that, writes DAVID ROSENBERG, is because they are worried they would be exposed

IT IS surely getting near to the time when Jeremy Corbyn will need to call their bluff. Whose bluff? The self-proclaimed and self-important leadership of the Jewish community who don’t want to talk to Jeremy at all — they just want to talk at him.

When Jesus said: “It is better to give than receive,” the Board of Deputies thought he was talking about “advice.” They want to humiliate him.

They want to drive him from office, to save Theresa May’s bacon — or salt beef, if you prefer — and keep us all nervous about discussing the rights of Palestinians.
