Labour's anti-Semitism row combined with leader Jeremy Corbyn's failure to blame Russia for the Salisbury attack have lost the party more than 17,000 members. A Labour Party spokesman said: 'These groups are not run by the Labour Party or officially connected to the party in any way. THE LABOUR PARTY SUPPORTER MR Corbyn joined the group himself, rather than being added to it. 'The Labour Party is committed to challenging and campaigning against anti-Semitism in all its forms. It has no place in our party,' Mr Izzard said.
