Board of Deputies President Marie van der Zyl has welcomed the suspension of Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party.
Marie said: “We welcome the decision of the Labour Party to suspend Jeremy Corbyn. Having presided over the descent of a proudly anti-racist party into a party that broke equalities law in its treatment of Jews, his shameless comments today showed that he remains part of the problem and is an obstruction to the resolution of the issue.”
