Maureen Lipman returns as Beattie to attack Jeremy Corbyn's Labour

“You know what my late husband said? If you’re Jewish, they gave you your Labour Party badge the day after your circumcision. They gave with one hand, they took with the other.

“But this lot… this lot’s not Labour. They’re not socialists. You know what they are, Nora? They’re extremists, that’s what my Melvyn says, and he’s not often wrong.

“Then there’s the throwing around of the millions of pounds. Where’s he going to get that from?”

The two-minute video was produced by anti-extremism campaign Mainstream, which is led by former Labour MP Ian Austin, who left the party over antisemitism.

He said: “People like Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell have spent decades working with and defending all sorts of extremists and in some cases terrorists and antisemites.

“Under their leadership, Labour has been poisoned by racism, extremism and intolerance. They can’t be trusted to defend our country and they can’t be trusted with our democracy.

A government led by them would mean other extreme policies like massive tax rises, alongside daft ideas like giving free broadband to people who can already afford it.”
