A veteran Jewish Labour MP has called party leadership candidate Jeremy Corbyn’s views a “cause for concern”.
Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary Ivan Lewis spoke out against Mr Corbyn for his alleged association with people with antisemitic views.
Mr Lewis wrote in the New Statesman that party members should not vote for the leadership contest frontrunner.
“Some of his stated political views are a cause for serious concern,” Mr Lewis wrote. “At the very least he has shown very poor judgment in expressing support for and failing to speak out against people who have engaged not in legitimate criticism of Israeli governments but in antisemitic rhetoric.”
