Jewish Momentum leader Jon Lansman says Corbyn likely to step down

The Jewish leader of the pro-Corbyn Labour goup Momentum, Jon Lansman, says Jeremy Corbyn may have to stand down as leader of the Labour party following poor election results but should not have to make a decision until the new year.

“Jeremy Corbyn has to make those decisions himself. He’s always been a reluctant leader,” he tells ITV News.

“I don’t think he’ll overstay his welcome, but he should be able to make decisions. I don’t think we should rush into those things.”

“Christmas is not far away. I don’t think decisions about this really need to be taken until the New Year.”
