May Almighty God bless our Prime Minister as he battles against Covid-19 in hospital. May he be strengthened and granted a swift and complete recovery, together with all those who continue to suffer at the hands of this terrible virus.

○ 'It reflects the despair': chief rabbi's criticism of Labour strikes a chord | The Guardian - Nov. 26, 2019 |  

Ephraim Mirvis, the UK's most senior Jewish leader who represents Orthodox Judaism, accused Jeremy Corbyn of allowing a "poison sanctioned from the top" to take root in the Labour party. British Jews, he said in an article in the Times, were gripped by a justified anxiety about the prospect of a Corbyn-led government.

His comments caused a furore on social media and among politicians campaigning in the election. Some accused Mirvis of speaking on behalf of the Israeli government and being an "apartheid propagandist". But for many, the chief rabbi's comments epitomised their revulsion at the Labour leadership's failures to deal with accusations of antisemitism.
