The president of the Union of Jewish Students (UJS) has announced her resignation from Labour, condemning "the party's complete inability and lack of political will to tackle antisemitism."
Writing for HuffPost, Hannah Rose said: "My position as the President of the Union of Jewish Students means I cannot, in good faith, continue as a member of a political party which has deliberately and recklessly allowed antisemitism to emerge, and even more concerningly, flourish.
"I commend the efforts of many Jewish students who stay and fight for the party I still wish I could call my political home. However, both in my personal and professional capacity, I cannot give support or succour to a party which its own MPs consider to be institutionally racist."
Ms Rose, who was elected president last December, assumed the leadership of the union, which represents 8,500 Jewish students in the UK and Ireland, this summer.
