Jeremy Corbyn has suffered the kind of abuse from Labour foes usually reserved for black people, one of his supporters has claimed.
Shadow Minister Kate Osamor said Mr Corbyn’s Left-wing allies had to ‘get dirty and ugly’ to hit back at ‘brutal’ Labour enemies out to destroy him.
It was shocking that a ‘white man’ had been treated so badly, she said – and harder to counter than attacks routinely dealt out to ‘a man of colour’ by ‘the system’.
Ms Osamor called for urgent action to secure the Labour leader’s control of the party over moderate rebels when she addressed a rally in London on Friday.
Acknowledging her remark would stir controversy, she said. ‘I couldn’t believe that, and I’m going to say this, as a white man, he’s been treated the way he has been treated.
‘If he was a man of colour, the way the system has attacked people of colour, I would have accepted that and said, “This is what happens.” I know how to defend that person.
‘But for someone like Jeremy to be attacked in the way he was, it was brutal.’
