"Most inappropriately, the planning application to Westminster city council has been politicised. To suggest that opposition to this scheme is antisemitic is shocking. It is as if this project is being used by the government to distance itself from allegations surrounding Jeremy Corbyn; while the Labour party may be unwilling to object for the same reasons.

"In the face of despicable Holocaust denial, this memorial will stand to preserve the truth forever," Mrs May said.
