Jeremy Corbyn has responded to the UK’s chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, by saying a Labour government will not tolerate antisemitism in any form. Speaking at a launch of the party’s race and faith manifesto, he said: ‘Antisemitism in any form is vile and wrong. It is an evil in our society. It grew in Europe and ultimately led to the Holocaust’.
Corbyn added that under a Labour government his door would be always open to all faith leaders, including the chief rabbi and the archbishop of Canterbury
