Steve Bannon, the former chief strategist to President Donald Trump, has appealed to American Jews to join his war against the Republican Party.

In an address to the Zionist Organization of America at its annual awards dinner in New York, Mr Bannon called on the group to “work as partners” against the party's grandees.

Mr Bannon, the executive chairman of the right-wing Breitbart News website, is understood to blame senior Republican figures for blocking some of Mr Trump’s desired reforms.

He also described his movement as an “insurgency against the Republican establishment”, before attacking his adversaries for “playing games”.
