Jeremy Corbyn has still failed to apologise personally for his role in the escalation of Labour’s antisemitism crisis, the chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust has claimed.
Responding to the latest statement from Mr Corbyn, in which he apologised for antisemitism in “pockets” of the party, Karen Pollock said of the Labour leader: “I wonder if an apology will also come from him.”
Speaking on the BBC Radio 4’s Westminster Hour, Ms Pollock said she recognised that while an apology about the broader problem within Labour was “important”, Mr Corbyn’s statement on Sunday had failed to address his “own issue” over the mural depicting global conspiracy by Jewish bankers.
Ms Pollock also detailed Mr Corbyn’s failure to deal with anti-Jewish hatred within Labour at a much earlier stage.
