Jewish Labour Movement votes to stay affiliated to Labour for another month

The Jewish Labour Movement voted to remain affiliated with the Labour Party for another month at the end of an impassioned meeting on Wednesday night.

Around 250 members of the group met at London’s Western Marble Arch Synagogue to debate whether to break away over the party’s handling of antisemitism among the membership.

An indicative show of hands suggested around 80 per cent of members supported the motion to remain affiliated to Labour.

But the vote was only informal. JLM members will hold a binding vote at its annual general meeting next month on whether the group should end its 99-year association with the Labour Party.
