Jeremy Corbyn's proposed 'address to Jewish community' called off

Labour Party officials initially suggested the Board of Deputies, the Jewish Leadership Council, the Community Security Trust and a number of prominent rabbis would be present.

It later emerged no contact had been made with the communal groups. Labour sources indicated the party was planning to invite them.

The Jewish Museum was initially open to the proposal, provided it was "done carefully and sensitively".

The approach sparked speculation that Labour was preparing to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism in full.
