As Sir Keir Starmer's disloyal colleagues plot, he faces a growing antisemitism crisis

If prime ministers accepted that their time at the top was likely to be fairly short, perhaps they could find the courage to lead in the limited time available to them.

The history books will reward courageous right-mindedness, not count the number of days spent in Downing Street.

Some Jewish people are considering leaving the UK.

This is primarily, but not exclusively, a problem in certain English towns and cities.

But Jews must never be driven out of Britain.

If the rules allow, Sir Keir should make a prime ministerial broadcast this week and firmly redefine the narrative.

It could be one of the great addresses of the modern era.

But I am not holding my breath.
