'Anti-Semitism row is used to attack Corbyn'

The shadow Northern Ireland minister has told The Westminster Hour that some people are using criticisms of the party's record on anti-Semitism to "attack Jeremy Corbyn". Stephen Pound said: "The Labour Party without a doubt has a problem, but on the other hand there are some people who are riding that horse to attack Jeremy Corbyn anyway." Asked if the party should be expelling more people over anti-Semitism allegations, he added: "If we have a problem with convincing the Jewish community then that is our problem and we will not have people screaming from the outside saying 'sling this person out, chuck that person out'. We will take care of this, we will clean up this mess, because we are the Labour Party."
