That is why we will maintain and build relations with Corbyn’s Labour Party and work to promote a genuine electoral choice for the Jewish community.
Writing in the Financial Times (FT), the new Labour leader – who had been criticised for appearing to leave the door open for backing withdrawal – said: “Labour is clear that we should remain in the EU”.
BISHOPS on the Left in the Church of England have welcomed the appointment of Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party.
