Jeremy Corbyn says he is looking into Daniel Carden antisemitism accusations

The Labour leader has responded to a BuzzFeed report that the shadow international development secretary allegedly altered the lyrics of the Beatles' Hey Jude to to sing 'hey Jews' on a coach journey last year. 'Dan Carden has emphatically denied that,' he said. 'If it’s true it is utterly and totally unacceptable. I am looking into it.'

False accusations of racial hatred or religious hatred are as serious as the act there of and should be dealt with in exactly the same way and with the same seriousness.

Is it true that anyone who takes the Palestinian’s side is seen as anti-Semitic?

The Labour Party currently under investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission... The only two UK Parties to be subject to EHRC investigation are Labour (2019) and BNP (2010). I have lost all faith in the Party I once supported. A party that is racist and undemocratic will never gain my vote.

I would chip in and destroy this Labour/momentum rabble. But Labour MP's are doing fine without my help.

Not a Corbyn fan at all, he has handled this difficult issue very badly. But both Left and Right need to talk about Israel MORE not less.

This has got to be a joke. People don't honestly believe he's an antisemite. I think people are just trolling him. I mean we all can see that this whole story is such BS.

"...If true, it is totally and utterly unacceptable..." But i promise to drag my heels while investigating the accusation. If forced to, I will eventually take the most severe of minimal action. This could be a suspension from the party of up to six months. If after six months the furore hasn't abated, then i will ask him to step down, with the offer of a well paid job with Fat Len.

Trots out the same old words every time there's a case of antisemetism in his party - then he tries to throw the journalist off the scent by quickly changing the subject.

I guess British politics are more concerned about reputation considering they are a more unitary govevernmen things and America is about Federalism sharing power EQUALLY.

Dan Carden hasn’t done anything he’s got a Liverpool accent so if course a corporate southern journalist wouldn’t understand him and would want to smear him.

[sprobablycancr]

i hear't tell that once he did utter 'Jehova' in the public square. Chain the people! for they are rabid clawed!

[zaroffhound]

ok, fine. Do not use autofocus however. Or is there a reason you keep putting him out of focus?

[knightstemplar]

Been looking into this for several years not done a lot though

Yes, children are going to school hungry . The reason is that their mothers ' priority is cigarettes, vodka and drugs not feeding their children . My daughter-in-law is a primary school teacher who , like other teachers, takes food to school for some children .

UK GDP/national income in 2019 is £2.2 trillion pounds.

Jeremy sides wth the Russians. Corbyn needs to disappear from politics

[peregrineslim]

Corbyn didn't forget Remembrance Day, obviously.

[nigels]

I reckon any labour investigation into antisemitism should be concluded by 2030 🤔

[kellythompson]

Dear old Jeremy looking for a brush to sweep these claims under the carpet as usual.
