A Labour shadow cabinet member listed as being “hostile” to Jeremy Corbyn on a leaked party memo is being targeted “because she is Jewish”, MPs have claimed.
It comes amid claims the Labour leader has failed to tackle antisemitism within the party.
Luciana Berger,
the shadow minister for mental health, is one of just two members of Mr Corbyn’s top team listed as being unsupportive of the leader.
A senior Labour MP told the Telegraph: “I think she is on there because she is Jewish, it is a concern for a number of MPs who have been looking closely at where Jewish Labour MPs are on that list.”
