Almost 1,000 Labour supporters have signed an open letter suggesting that Monday’s protest against antisemitism in the party was the work of a “very powerful special interest group”.
The letter, addressed to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and uploaded to the We Support Jeremy Corbyn Facebook group, also accused organisers of using “immense strength” and “employing the full might of the BBC”.
The Jewish Leadership Council (JLC) and the Board of Deputies coordinated the rally, in Parliament Square, before delivering a letter to a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP).
The open letter adds that the “special interest group” attempted to use their “history and influence” to dictate how the country at large will vote, the Independent reported.
