Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn

• I AM amazed, as others clearly are too, at the treatment given to Jeremy Corbyn by Sir Keir Starmer and others on the right of the Labour Party.

I have had fairly frequent contact with Jeremy ever since I became a parishioner of St Mellitus church in north Islington.

Never has Jeremy failed to respond promptly to any call for help for the homeless, the prisoner, or the refugee arriving here confused and semi-destitute.

Never have I heard a word from him which could be judged in any way as anti-Semitic or racist.

To be critical of the behaviour of the current government of Israel is not anti-Semitism by any stretch of the imagination. If it is I too must be a racist.

Sir Keir ought to realise that his anti-Corbyn behaviour risks losing the support of many Labour voters.
