Jeremy Corbyn tells of his 'pain' at being branded a racist

Poor Jeremy Corbyn, it's all about him. 

'Jeremy Corbyn today told of his 'pain' at being branded a racist over the anti-Semitism scandal.

The Labour leader was roundly condemned after MailOnline exclusively published a video in which he accused British Zionists of having 'no sense of English irony'.

Ex chief rabbi Lord Sacks accused Mr Corbyn of being an 'anti-Semite' and compared the remarks to Enoch Powell's notorious 'Rivers of Blood' speech.

Speaking to Holyrood magazine, the Labour leader told how he was left feeling upset after coming in for the criticism.

He said: 'I have found these accusations very painful because my whole life has been about opposing racism and I saw at first-hand in Jamaica the hurt inflicted by Powell's words.'
