New Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said that he has some Jewish ancestry.
In an interview in today’s Church Times, he revealed that there was a “Jewish element” in the family.
His mother Naomi was a Bible-reading agnostic “brought up in a religious environment and her brother was a vicar, and there was quite a lot of clergy in her family,” he said.
“Going back a lot further, there is a Jewish element in the family, probably from Germany.”
