Jewish group fights Labour on new code

JEWISH campaigners are preparing legal action against the Labour Party under the European Convention on Human Rights.

The Jewish Labour Movement is angry the party has excluded four parts of a globally accepted definition of anti-semitism from its code of conduct.

It will also consider taking Labour to court using the Equality Act.

Meanwhile a group of Labour MPs tonight hope to force the party to adopt the “full” definition.

Shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey yesterday admitted: “We haven’t won the faith of the Jewish community.”
