Jeremy Corbyn was ‘too unemotional or too stupid’ to understand claims that he has failed to combat anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, it has been claimed.

The Labour leader is described as ‘bored, uninterested and condescending’ in a leaked account of his meeting with Jewish leaders last month to discuss the issue.

It suggests he lacks the ‘emotional or intellectual ability’ to comprehend their demands for more action to tackle the problem.

By contrast, he sprang into life with a ‘convulsion’ when told that his support for a ‘two state solution’ in the rift between Israel and Palestine meant he was a ‘Zionist’.

The withering pen portrait of Mr Corbyn’s behaviour is contained in a leaked account of his meeting with the Board of Deputies of British Jews (BoD) and the Jewish Leadership Council at his Commons office four weeks ago.

The document was drawn up by a Jewish leader at the meeting, where Mr Corbyn was called on to take tougher measures to stamp out anti-Semitism in the Labour ranks.

At the time, Jewish representatives issued a statement saying they hoped he would show more ‘passion and enthusiasm’ in dealing with the issue. But the leaked account, obtained by The Mail on Sunday, shows their private view was more critical – and reveals clashes between Mr Corbyn and Jewish representatives.

It states: ‘[Mr Corbyn’s] body language was hard to read. He was not especially animated. It may have been pensive, or bored and uninterested.

‘He replied with pre-prepared statements in a monotone. It suggested an emotional, political or intellectual inability to improvise suitable responses.

‘Most of the time he had his chin on his hand and a facial expression somewhere between scepticism, concentration and non-interest.’

A Labour spokesman said: ‘Jeremy made clear [at the meeting] his absolute commitment to rooting out anti-Semitism from our party.’
