Jeremy Corbyn is in talks to give a speech at the Jewish Museum next week, the Mirror understands.

It follows reports that the Labour leader planned to hold an event at the museum, in Camden, London, tomorrow afternoon.

A senior Labour source confirmed no event is planned for Friday, and no event next week had been confirmed.

But a sources at the museum said talks are "ongoing".

Abigail Morris, the museum's chief executive, told the Jewish Chronicle the museum would "absolutely be open to hosting" the Labour leader for an event as long as it is done "carefully and sensitively".

She added: "We are still trying to work out what [Mr Corbyn’s office] is asking from us — whether it is a discussion, a statement or a speech.

“Things are very delicate at the moment. But the Jewish Museum is all about building bridges, and sometimes that’s hard.

“We would want to be part of a healing process — not something that will make things worse. We are very proud of being a cross-communal space and we want to be a place where positive dialogue can take place.”

There has been speculation Mr Corbyn intends to use the speech to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism in full.
