A LEFT-WING Jewish group has criticised Labour’s plan to formally apologise to former senior officials who sued the party after making claims of anti-semitism during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership as an “insult.

Jewdas, which describes itself as a “radical” and “alternative” Jewish group, spoke out today against the party’s plan to apologise as part of a settlement designed to draw a line under the allegations.

The staffers, described as “whistleblowers” by the Guardian, sued Labour for defamation after a BBC Panorama investigation last year.
