Ex- British PM: Labour must immediately adopt IHRA anti-Semitism definition
Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown urges the Labour party to “unequivocally and immediately” adopt the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism that was rejected by party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
In a speech to a Jewish Labour Movement conference on Sunday, Brown calls for a comprehensive plan to tackle anti-Semitism within the party, saying the issue was “about the soul of the party.”
“This injustice has got to be remedied, this stain must be removed,” Brown says.
Brown’s speech comes days before Labour’s ruling body will vote whether to adopt all examples of antisemitism set out by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).
