Keir Starmer
PM Starmer affirms his belief in the Palestinians’ “undeniable right to a state.”
The British leader said the situation on the Lebanese border was “very concerning” amid Iran-backed Hezbollah attacks there.
“Nobody in the Jewish community will forget the state the Labour Party was in when Keir took it over in 2020, riddled with antisemitism and unfit to govern,” said the president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
“The first thing I said as Labour leader is that I would tear antisemitism out of our party by the roots,” said Keir Starmer. “That is why I took the decision that Jeremy Corbyn would not stand as a Labour candidate this election.”
“This amounts to nothing more or less than political blackmail,” former Tory leader states.
A group that advocates for transgender people, which accused a former politician of Holocaust denial, is facing criticism of Holocaust revisionism.
The former political leader has sullied the party’s reputation and tanked its electoral prospects with his history of repeated antisemitism.
One of its aims is “to confront the hostile environment for Jews in universities.”
“It is a matter of decency and long-established convention in Germany that you never stoop to using the Berlin Holocaust memorial as a prop,” said Joe Glasman of the Campaign Against Antisemitism.
“Labour is still infested with people who have antipathetic views of Jews, and the party’s vetting process is an offensive joke,” says Joe Glasman, head of political and government investigations at the Campaign Against Antisemitism.
Instead, he will become an Independent MP, which has elicited mixed reactions from organizations in the British Jewish community.
British Labour Party leader Keir Starmer acknowledged that the reinstatement is a “painful day” for the Jewish community, but also remarked that Corbyn won’t be allowed to “prevent” the party “from doing the vital work of tackling anti-Semitism.”
