Corbynista: Labour has got hundreds of anti-Semites

ONE of Jeremy Corbyn’s closest allies yesterday admitted hundreds of Labour members are ‘hardcore anti-Semites’.

Jon Lansman, founder of Corbynite pressure group Momentum, said the party had a ‘much larger’ antiSemitism problem than previously thought.

Arguing that the party needed to put more robust complaints procedures in place, he added: ‘ Of Labour’s 500,000 members perhaps a few hundred are hardcore anti-Semites.’

However, campaign group Labour Against Anti-Semitism last night said Momentum had turned a ‘blind eye’ to the issue ever since Mr Corbyn became leader.
