12 whole minutes (from 40:40) of #Marr questioning Jeremy Corbyn on antisemitism. No really expression of remorse, apology or empathy - all are absolutely crucial to resolving the antisemitism issue bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Corbyn won’t even accept, after all that has happened, that the mural of Jews sitting on the backs of the oppressed is antisemitic. For people who say this issue is about being able to criticise Israel, it’s not. It’s about insight and empathy and Corbyn hasn’t shown either #marr

Corbyn can’t even bring himself to confirm that had he known members of Black September (who carried out the Munich Olympic murdered) were to be commemorated that he wouldn’t have gone. No insight or empathy. On this performance, he will never budge an inch

He is incredibly stubborn or hasn't learned a thing. How much would it take to say:
1. The mural is antisemitic. I made a mistake. I'm sorry.
2. I wouldn't/shouldn't have attended a ceremony commemorating Black September
3. I was clumsy in my words about English irony. I'm sorry

I think @MikeSegalov got it right back in March - if you can't see antisemitism, it's time to open your eyes. Clearly from the #Marr interview, Corbyn has not opened his eyes. What are Labour going to do about their leader who *still doesn't get it*? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

People responding "grow up", you're "alienating" people who should be on side, focus on Tories - and I can't help feeling that if Corbyn himself had shown an ounce of empathy towards Jews the behaviour would filter down. But the signal he sends is very clear. Don't give an inch.

Just one more thing on this. I have met and spoken to over the course of the past few months a number of very senior Labour movement people about antisemitism. Every single one demonstrated more insight and empathy than Corbyn in that #Marr interview. They get it. He doesn't.
