The left must unite against cynical smears aimed at undermining Labour
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, alongside Inquiry chair Shami Chakrabarti, arrives to deliver a speech on Labour's anti-Semitism inquiry findings in June 2016
THE self-proclaimed “leaders of British Jewry” attempting to disinter bogus accusations that Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is somehow soft on anti-semitism do nothing but expose how threadbare is their pretension to speak for British Jews.
Their preposterous posturing is a cynical ploy aimed at undermining Labour’s performance at forthcoming local elections.
On its own, it is unlikely to do this.
