Jeremy Corbyn has apologised for “pockets of antisemitism” in the Labour party as he attempts to shut down renewed claims of slurs and discrimination against Jewish people in the party. The accusations have dogged Corbyn’s leadership of the party and flared again at the weekend when he expressed regret for apparently showing support for the creator of an antisemitic mural in the East End of London six years ago. But Jewish leaders piled the pressure on Corbyn by issuing a strongly worded open letter accusing him of “siding with antisemites” and being “ideologically fixed within a far-left worldview that is instinctively hostile to mainstream Jewish communities”.
