Jeremy Corbyn has urged faith leaders to "engage" with his party, after stinging criticism from the chief rabbi over allegations of anti-Jewish racism.

Speaking at his party's race and faith manifesto launch in London, the Labour leader said: "There is no place whatsoever for anti-Semitism in our society, our country or in my party."

Earlier, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis told the Times that anti-Jewish racism "sanctioned from the very top - has taken root" in the Labour Party.
