Murphy says she wants to set the record straight but Jewish group dismisses her claims as smear
Jeremy Corbyn’s former chief of staff has said she is proud of Labour’s record on antisemitism, days before the equalities watchdog is expected to publish its report on the issue.
Karie Murphy, one of Corbyn’s fiercely protective inner circle whom several former party staffers have accused of meddling in antisemitism cases, said she had been moved to speak out “for the first time … [to] set the record straight” about the party’s handling of cases, claiming it improved during Corbyn’s tenure.
