The Finchley and Golders Green MP said: “From its highest levels, right through to its local councilors and MPs in London and affiliated trade unions, the Labour Party has shown sympathy for these boycotts. It is time for Labour’s mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan to come clean with Londoners about whether he supports them too.”

But Khan told the Jewish News: “I have consistently made absolutely clear that I do not support boycotts, sanctions or divestment of Israel. We won’t achieve peace by turning our faces against Israel.”
