Following the JC’s front page story demanding answers to questions over Mr Corbyn’s association with Holocaust deniers and antisemites, a spokesperson for Mr Corbyn said: “Jeremy is proud to represent a multicultural constituency of people from all over the world and to speak at every opportunity of understanding between Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and other faiths.
“He has delivered this message in all places of worship. No place of worship should ever be attacked and nobody's right to practise their faith in peace should ever be prevented.”
Mr Corbyn also pulled out of a conference at which he was due to appear alongside antisemitic cartoonist Carlos Latuff.
Senior Labour figures including Tony Blair and Alan Johnson have also warned that a win for Mr Corbyn could split the party.
