"It is Labour Party members themselves who are making the accusations as you well know..........but do keep on denying."

There are over 600,000 Labour Party members. The vast majority, if not nearly all, of the accusations from within the party are coming from a group of disaffected ex-Blairite/Brownite MPs who dearly want to see Corbyn gone. Nobody is denying but one or two of us are trying to ensure that loose statements don't degrade the argument. By the way, accusations are also coming from the Board Of Deputies (not Labour Party members last time I checked), elements of the Jewish press in both Israel and the UK as well as from a goodly smattering of our mainstream papers and, not least, the Israeli regime itself, also last time I checked, not members of the British Labour Party. Hope this helps.
