Former Master of the Rolls Lord Dyson has said there is a "powerful case" that Jeremy Corbyn could be labelled antisemitic.
The country's former most senior civil judge also said he believed Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis' intervention over Labour's failure to tackle anti-Jewish racism was "justified".
Asked by the Sunday Telegraph if he believed the Labour leader was antisemitic, Lord Dyson said: “I think all I can say is – I don’t want to say positively that he is antisemitic – but I think there is a powerful case that he may well be. I’m choosing my words rather carefully here.”
But, when considering if he believed there was evidence to support the allegation, he added: “There is evidence that he is antisemitic, but I wouldn’t like to say positively that he is. There is evidence that he may well be.”
