you did work quite closely with keir starmer.y. which takes us back to the subject you're probably deeply frustrated — it keeps raising its head — the subject of anti—semitism. i don't want to relitigate all that. you've said lots of things. you've condemned anti—semitism and so on. but the question i've always really wanted to ask you is why do you think that so manyjewish people felt so uncomfortable, frightened, when you were leader of the labour party? i absolutely condemn anti—semitism in every single form, as you've just acknowledged, and i took action against any anti—semitic activity within the party, introduced procedures to deal with it that hadn't existed before, and made very clear my position on this. it's precisely for that reason i'm interested in whether you can explain to yourself why so many jewish people felt so uncomfortable? let me tell you a story. i remember speaking to a very senior, former senior member of the party at the time. and you know thatjews often talk about the fact that one day they may have to
