Chief Rabbi: Corbyn unfit for high office due to handling of anti-Semitism

Jeremy Corbyn’s handling of anti-Semitism in the Labour party makes him unfit for high office, the Chief Rabbi has warned.

He said “a new poison” has taken hold in the party “sanctioned from the very top”

Writing in the Times, Rabbi Mirvis said "the overwhelming majority of British Jews are gripped by anxiety" ahead of the December 12 poll.

Responding to the remarks, Labour spokesman said Mr Corbyn has made "absolutely clear” anti-Semitism has no place in the party.
