On Twitter she was called a “criminal”, an “agent of a foreign power” and “Zionist scum”.
Commenting on Mr Corbyn’s response to the damning EHRC report into Labour's handling of antisemitism, Ms Berger said what was needed was a “wholesome apology” and not “another moment when he has chosen to obfuscate and not take responsibility.”
The 39 year-old also told the newspaper she believed Mr Corbyn is antisemitic, noting how he “can’t process not to be" but then engage in actions such as defending the Tower Hamlets mural that featured caricatures of Jewish bankers with hooked noses.
She said she would not be drawn into criticising Sir Keir Starmer – but confirmed that until the eve of the publication of the EHRC report she had not spoken to him since September 2018.
Ms Berger said she felt loyalty to the Liberal Democrats who welcomed her after she quit Labour in February 2019. But she did not rule out re-joining Labour.
