Members of Momentum - the pro-Corbyn campaign group within Labour - are more likely than other Labour members to think alleged antisemitism in the party was "wildly exaggerated" by the party's opponents.
A total of 73 per cent of Labour members agreed with the statement that Jew-hate in the party was "wildly exaggerated by right-wing media and opponents of Jeremy Corbyn", a poll by Lord Ashcroft found.
But the figure rose 92 per cent among Momentum members, just six per cent of whom felt antisemitism "was a real issue" in the party.
Overall, 22 per cent of Labour members agreed that antisemitism "was a real issue", while 45 per cent agreed antisemitism was "wildely exaggerated" but felt "the party leadership should have done a better job of handling it".
