Corbyn's got another problem on his hands it seems:
Quote:
Labour has a problem with anti-Semitism.
Remember the councillor who thought Hitler was the greatest man in history?
Remember the candidate who suggested asking the so-called Islamic State why it wasn't attacking Israel?
Remember the student who said a large part of the Oxford University Labour Club had a "problem with Jews"?
Imagine the reaction, Jewish figures say, if these were stories about any other minority.
They appear with politically damaging regularity.
Now, though, it seems change will come.
Activists and MPs have told BBC Radio 4's Today programme they are trying to toughen the rules on anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and racism.
Even if they fail, I'm told a party review by Labour peer Lady Royall into allegations of anti-Semitism may well also suggest rewriting the rulebook.
Poisonous atmosphere
That is highly unlikely to be the end of this story, though, because it goes to the heart of a poisonous atmosphere in parts of the Labour movement.
Jeremy Corbyn's critics - who are many and vociferous - put the blame at his door.
It is he, they say, who has attracted new members with these views, who has condemned anti-Semitism but not acted and who has - on occasion - made what they think are utterly inadequate responses to offensive language.

I wonder if he'll find time to deal with this in between such pressing issues as deciding which texts and emails to read out during PMQ's.
