[IsraelTimes] The leader of Britannia’s main opposition Labour party refuses to re-admit his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn to its parliamentary ranks as a row over anti-Semitism intensifies.I owe the shadow prime minister an apology. He is grasping party leadership with a firm hand and an outstretched arm.
"Since I was elected Labour leader, I have made it my mission to root out anti-Semitism from the Labour Party," Keir Starmer tweets, after a disciplinary panel yesterday decided to revoke Corbyn’s suspension from the party. "I know that I will [be] judged on my actions, not my words."He says Corbyn’s "actions in response to the EHRC report undermined and set back our work in restoring trust and confidence in the Labour Party’s ability to tackle anti-Semitism."
And he says "The disciplinary process does not have the confidence of the Jewish community. That became clear once again yesterday.
"In those circumstances, I have taken the decision not to restore the whip to Jeremy Corbyn. I will keep this situation under review."
