Corbyn as PM would be 'west's first antisemitic leader since WWII'The health secretary, Matt Hancock, has claimed that if Jeremy Corbyn won a general election he would be “the first antisemitic leader of a western nation since the second world war”. Corbyn spent Wednesday in Portsmouth, attending the D-day commemorations alongside world leaders including US president Donald Trump. “We don’t win the next election by only appealing to our base. “Gove and Hunt have similar problems; but the voters don’t appear to be so antipathetic, particularly to Hunt, and to some extent to Gove,” he said. The former Brexit secretary hopes to achieve a revised agreement, but has made clear he would pursue a no-deal Brexit if that could not be achieved by the October deadline.
