Corbyn told to expect more resignations
Britain’s Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn was told to prepare for more resignations as Labour was blown apart by the biggest split in British politics in 40 years.
Seven MPs officially quit the party yesterday, branding it institutionally anti-Semitic, racist — and led by a man who’s a threat to national security.
His deputy Tom Watson warned “many others” could quit, and that Labour “may see more days like this”.
As many as 50 MPs are now understood to be considering their positions, with Labour sources expecting a “steady trickle” of departures.
Luciana Berger, one of those who quit Monday, said Labour had become “institutionally anti-Semitic” Labour leaders have admitted that Berger, who is Jewish and pregnant, has been bullied by some members of her local party in northwest England.
Labour has been riven by allegations that the party has become hostile to Jews under Corbyn, a longtime supporter of the Palestinians.
Corbyn’s supporters accuse political opponents and right-wing media of misrepresenting his views.
