Corbyn warned over Labour ‘anti-Semitism’ fear by Chief Rabbi; Stop the SWR rail strike; & worries at AFC Wimbledon

The UK’s Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis has said that Jeremy Corbyn is unfit for high office over his handling of anti-Semitism in the Labour party. Rabbi Mirvis said that "The way in which the leadership has dealt with anti-Jewish racism is incompatible with the British values of which we are so proud - of dignity and respect for all people. It has left many decent Labour members both Jewish and non-Jewish, ashamed of what has transpired."

The Evening Standard’s Joe Murphy joins The Leader Podcast from Westminster to discuss what this means for the Labour party’s election campaign.

Up to 25,000 train services — thousands more than first forecast — face cancellation in the 27-day walkout by South Western Railway (SWR) train staff which starts next Monday. Industrial action will affect all services to and from mainline Waterloo, the London’s busiest station and is predicted to cost businesses up to £400m. Strikes will disrupt commuters travelling into the city and affect Christmas party goers with some services stopping as early as 10pm. Our editorial column thinks the strike should be stopped.

AFC Wimbledon has been owned by its supporters since it was set up in 2002 when the former Wimbledon FC was uprooted from south London to eventually become MK Dons. AFC Wimbledon have most recently been playing in Kingston-upon-Thames but from day one the dream has been to go back to where the fans call home – Plough Lane. If all goes to plan this is likely to happen - if they can source the money. The Evening Standard’s Simon Collings is out of the newsroom chasing the story and joins The Leader podcast.
