Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party was the victim of the Israeli secret service, according to the newly elected Sinn Fein TD

Réada Cronin, a newly elected Sinn Fein TD, accused the Israeli secret service of “sinister” interference in the UK general election to ensure defeat for Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party. She made the claims on Twitter two months ago.

Cronin, a Sinn Fein councillor from 2014 to 2019, when she lost her seat, has repeatedly alleged Labour’s defeat was partly due to Mossad, the Israeli secret service.

On November 30, in response to a tweet calling Corbyn an “anti-semite”, Cronin wrote: “Mossad. Interference. In. The. British. Election. Brits. Being. Led. By. The. Nose.” On December 12, the day of the election, Cronin tweeted: “Mossad have involved themselves in dirty tricks in elections not too far away”.
