Jeremy Corbyn has insisted that Labour is firm on tackling “abhorrent” anti-Semitism after the Jewish Board of Deputies called for him to “take action” against racism in the party.
The Labour leader said there was “no place for any racism of any sort” and promised swift action in any cases which come to light.
He was speaking after councillor Aysegul Gurbuz was suspended by the party over messages posted on her Twitter account claiming that Hitler was the “greatest man in history” and suggesting that Iran could develop a nuclear weapon to “wipe Israel off the map”.
