As the Jewish Labour Movement, we would like to thank Keir Starmer for everything he has delivered as Leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister. 

Keir Starmer became Leader of the Labour Party at its lowest point, inheriting from Jeremy Corbyn a Party that was institutionally antisemitic and unfit for government. Today, our Party has a clean bill of health on antisemitism, and that is thanks Keir Starmer’s dedication to rid our Party of that scourge. He was right to reflect on this in front of Downing Street - the Labour Party would not be in government without it. 

As the Labour Party begins a leadership contest, JLM will hold all candidates to account to ensure that they have the same dedication, such that we never find the Labour Party in that position again. We will use our rights and responsibilities as an affiliate of the Party to shape the future of Labour, and with it, the country.
