Labour leader says he had hoped report on antisemitism would be chance for party to ‘draw a line and move on’
Keir Starmer has said he was deeply disappointed by Jeremy Corbyn’s decision to play down the extent of antisemitism in Labour, saying he had hoped the publication of a damning report into the issue would be a chance for Labour to “draw a line and move on”.
In a round of media interviews as Labour descended into infighting following Corbyn’s suspension for saying antisemitism in Labour had been “dramatically overstated for political reasons”, Starmer insisted he had nothing to do with this disciplinary process.
