Theresa May has accused Labour of trying to “redefine antisemitism” by refusing to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of Jew hate.
Labour's decision to adopt its own code of conduct on antisemitism - over the protests of the Jewish community - triggered huge outrage and culiminated with Jeremy Corbyn being called "an antisemite and a racist" to his face by one of his Jewish MPs.
Labour's code omits or redefines a number of key points specifically defined as antisemitism in the IHRA version, such as the accusation that British Jews have “dual loyalties” or calling Israel a racist endeavour.
During Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, the Prime Minister told Mr Corbyn: “The Labour party is trying to redefine antisemitism to allow people to say that Israel is a racist endeavour.
