The Jewish Leadership Council and the Board of Deputies of British Jews stage a protest in March 2018 against anti-Semitism in the Labour Party in London. The charity said it wasn't clear whether the increase reflects a rise in the amount of anti-Semitism online, or increased reporting. Allegations of anti-Semitism have dogged Britain's opposition Labour Party and its leader, Jeremy Corbyn, since he took the helm in 2015. One of them, Luciana Berger, said that she had come to the "sickening conclusion" that the Labour Party was "institutionally anti-Semitic. According to CST's report, 55 recorded incidents were directly related to the Labour Party in February and March this year.
