| Description | Jeremy Corbyn has apologised for the hurt inflicted on Jewish people by the Labour antisemitism row as he vowed to speed up scores of disciplinary cases.
In a video message released on social media, the Labour leader said that working with the Jewish population to rebuild trust was a “vital priority” as Jewish groups responded angrily to his earlier attempts to defuse the row.
“I am sorry for the hurt that has been caused to many Jewish people. We have been too slow in processing disciplinary cases of, mostly, online antisemitic abuse by party members. We are acting to speed this process up,” he said.
“Our party must never be a home for such people and never will be. People who use antisemitic poison need to understand: you do not do it in my name or the name of my party. You are not our supporters. And anyone who denies that this has surfaced within our party is clearly actually wrong and contributing to the problem.” |
