Wasn’t the issue with Corbyn more so his response to the antisemitism accusations than the actual accusations themselves? I’m not British so I don’t remember the details
Nah, he just got absolutely swamped by the media, who were 100% vehemently opposed to him, because the media are owned and controlled by the ruling class, and Corbyn was a threat to their power.
This alongside the British press as well which manipulated certain elements of the situation to make it look like that Jeremy Corbyn was an antisemite, which in turn destroyed his reputation in the Labour Party and the overall general election results back in 2019 cuz unfortunately UK press often plays a huge part of UK politics and influences legalisation thanks to Rupert Murdoch (who practically owns the majority of UK media/newspapers here)
Unfortunately it doesn’t help that we still don’t really know if Jeremy Corbyn is an antisemite or not due to his questionable past behaviour, which could be deemed as antisemitic but what we do know that the inquiry within the Labour Party I think back in 2020/2021, basically confirms that alot of the issues was played due to media/conservatives pumping out misinformation, alongside Corbyn failing and very slowly tackling antisemitic rhetoric within his own party as leader at the time.
This might be slightly inaccurate afaik since it was so so long ago at this point, I’m just writing this from what i remembered back then.
