Critics of Jeremy Corbyn dismissed as “extreme Zionists”, Labour Party to “investigate”

Critics of Jeremy Corbyn, who is frontrunner to lead the Labour Party, are being smeared as extremists who are trying to stifle criticism of Israel.

Jeremy Corbyn and antisemites

The Campaign Against Antisemitism will always be apolitical and non-partisan. However, we also must not fear to call out antisemitism wherever we see it.

In the past week we have been […]

London in chaos as the Met finally takes on the marches

Saturday was a dark day for London.

What does this election result mean for British Jews?

The Labour Party arrives in Government as levels of anti-Jewish racism have skyrocketed and rocked the Jewish community for months.

Prime Minister tells police to do their job, but that demand needs to be backed by action

On Friday evening, the Prime Minister made a speech responding to the surge in antisemitism and extremism in our country.
