The Labour anti-Semitism crisis deepened yesterday when a shadow cabinet member was accused of ‘irresponsibly’ downplaying new MP Lisa Forbes’ endorsement of online posts against Jews. Barry Gardiner compared the furore around Peterborough MP Miss Forbes to the drug controversy engulfing Michael Gove. Miss Forbes was found to have ‘liked’ a Facebook video in April that claimed Theresa May had a ‘Zionist slave master’s agenda’. Lisa Forbes has apologised but now needs to demonstrate genuine remorse and contrition. But a Labour Party spokesman said: ‘The selection was fair and transparent.’n One of Donald Trump’s top officials has revealed his concerns about Jeremy Corbyn and anti-Semitism.
