"Head of Jewish Labour group: party is in crisis over antisemitism"

""Is there a crisis in terms of the relationship between the Jewish community and the Labour party?" Newmark asked a packed crowd at Momentum's The World Transformed, a fringe conference running in Liverpool at the same time as Labour's official annual gathering.

"The last poll on Jewish support for Labour showed it was somewhere between 7.6% and 8%," he continued. "Some of you may welcome that news. But to me that statistic is a crisis. That statistic is what needs to be addressed.

"You can mock it, you can deny it, you can misquote surveys and statistics. But at the end of the day, you're only kidding yourself."

He continued: "If you don't believe it's a statistic that needs to be addressed, the message you're sending out to my community is you don't care about that relationship and that Jews are not welcome in this party.""
