Former Ukip leader and others use term associated with ‘age-old antisemitic conspiracism’ to describe new home secretary
Jewish groups and campaigners have condemned commentators and media including Nigel Farage and GB News for calling Grant Shapps a “globalist”, a term which has associations with antisemitism and the far right.
John Mann, the former Labour MP who is now a non-affiliated peer and is the government’s independent adviser on antisemitism, called for GB News to sack both Farage and another of its presenters, Dan Wootton, if they did not rescind the language.
