While the Brexit Party only announced a few of its candidates on Tuesday, Change UK, the party set up by breakaway Labour and Conservative MPs, revealed the full rostra of MEP hopefuls.

They include Karen Newman, vice chair of Liberal Judaism and activist for the Jewish LGBT+ group who is also the representative at the Board of Deputies for The Liberal Jewish synagogue in St John's Wood.

Speaking to the JC, she described how she was "not a big marcher.

“I went on the Enough is Enough march last year, because I thought that was so important about what they were trying to do about antisemitism in the Labour party", she said.

"But the next time I returned to Parliament Square was for the People’s [anti-Brexit] March a few weeks ago.

“Europe is so important for the life of Britain, and it has been quite sickening to watch the Brexit debate become a ridiculous tribal fight between political groups looking only for their own advantage, with nobody actually sitting back and saying what’s best for Britain, and it looks as if Change UK are going to try and do that.”

Both Mr Forman and Ms Newman are candidates to represent London in the European Parliament.
