Yeah I’ve seen that too. what’s interesting in these case their candidate standing for election, rather than just members. I wonder if the timing has been strategic!
I’m looking forward to the chief rabbi statement on Monday morning.
If it’s handled the same way It was with Suella Braverman they’ll be packed off to the board of deputies over the weekend. which will be quickly followed by a statement from the board of deputies saying that’s there happy all the people involved are Good friends of Israel and the matter will be closed as far as the Tory party are concerned.

Yougov have conducted surveys of the prevalence of anti-Semitic views and the political affiliations of those people for at least the last four years.
I'm saying this off the top of my head but the results in 2017 were something like 40% of people with at least one antisemitic view were Conservative aligned, 32% Labour, 25% Lib Dem. Even if my recollection of the numbers is wrong, I remember that the conservative party has consistently been top of the anti Semite list for a while. Which is surprising considering that Yougov is Tory owned.
