UK Labour chief apologizes after anti-Semitism report: ‘We have failed Jewish people
LONDON — The leader of Britain’s main opposition Labour party apologizes after a government watchdog rules it had broken equality law in its handling of anti-Semitism complaints during his predecessor’s tenure.
Keir Starmer, who has headed the party since April, says he accepts the report in full and will implement the recommendations immediately.
“It’s a day of shame for the Labour party. We have failed Jewish people, our members, our supporters and the British public,” he adds.
