[IsraelTimes] Party leader Keir Starmer is serious about eradicating bigotry — but after the previous head’s tenure, the well of public opinion about Jews may have already been poisoned.
Three years ago today, Jeremy Corbyn, the far-left leader of Britannia’s Labour party, suffered a devastating defeat in the country’s general election. With his leadership dogged by allegations of antisemitism, the Jewish community had viewed the prospect of a Corbyn premiership with fear and trepidation.
Today, Labour’s political prospects have been transformed. Under Keir Starmer, a moderate who has dragged the party back to the center ground, it holds a steady, 20-point lead in the polls. Likewise, relations with the Jewish community are being painstakingly rebuilt — even if some fear that the ghost of Corbynism has not yet been fully laid to rest. |
