Jeremy Corbyn has pulled out of a conference where he was due to appear alongside antisemitic cartoonist Carlos Latuff.
The Islington North MP, who is the frontrunner in the race to become Labour leader, confirmed his withdrawal from the event after the JC queried his attendance among seven key questions representing communal fears over his potential leadership.
A spokesperson for Mr Corbyn said: "He is not attending any conference on August 22nd. Jeremy's very strongly-held view is there should not be any antisemitic, Islamophobic or racist slogans or banners at any demonstration, ever."
“Jeremy is proud to represent a multicultural constituency of people from all over the world and to speak at every opportunity of understanding between Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and other faiths.
