Sultana accuses Corbyn of ‘capitulation’ over antisemitism in attack on new party co-leader
Why Corbyn was criticised by party co-leader just weeks after forming
- Zarah Sultana, co-leader of Jeremy Corbyn's new political party, has accused him of "capitulating" over antisemitism during his tenure as Labour leader.
- Sultana specifically criticised Corbyn's decision to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism in 2018.
- She also stated that Labour under Corbyn "triangulated" on Brexit, alienated voters, and was "frightened and far too conciliatory" when facing external attacks.
- The Board of Deputies of British Jews responded, asserting that the IHRA definition is widely supported by the Jewish community and calling Sultana's remarks a "grave insult."
- Sultana's public criticism is expected to heighten tensions within "Your Party," a new left-wing group attracting independent pro-Gaza politicians.
