Michael Foster, the Jewish Labour donor who launched a legal challenge against Jeremy Corbyn, has said he has been accused by supporters of the party leader of using false claims of antisemitism to smear left-wingers.
Mr Foster, whose family has donated over £400,000 to the party, described Mr Corbyn’s allies as resembling “stormtroopers” who threatened and intimidated opponents.
In an article in the Mail on Sunday, the retired businessman said he had been denounced for “plotting to falsely use the accusation of antisemitism” as part of a right-wing “conspiracy” to undermine Mr Corbyn.
He added: “The ancient racist rhetoric is that Jews don’t act alone, the malevolent Jew always conspires”.
