Jeremy Corbyn has vowed to fight against antisemitism with “every breath” during his keynote speech at the Labour party conference.
Mr Corbyn was loudly applauded by delegates in the hall in Liverpool as he said party members must be more responsible and put an end to abuse.
He said antisemitism was “an evil” that had led to “the worst crimes of the 20th century”.
“This party always has and always will fight against prejudice and hatred of Jewish people with every breath in its body,” the Labour leader said.
The comments were similar to those he made last night at the Labour Friends of Israel reception at the conference, but came as a key ally, activist Jackie Walker, was under renewed scrutiny over remarks about the Holocaust.
