Chief whip tells ex-leader to retract comment that Labour antisemitism was ‘overstated’
Labour’s chief whip has asked Jeremy Corbyn to “unequivocally, unambiguously and without reservation” apologise for his claims that the extent of antisemitism in the party had been “dramatically overstated”, which led to his membership being suspended.
The party’s governing body readmitted Corbyn last week but Labour’s leader, Keir Starmer, has refused to restore the whip to his predecessor, effectively suspending him from the parliamentary party.
