		</div><p>UK Labour has “let the Jewish community down” over its handling of anti-Semitism within the party, according to Gordon Brown.</p>
<p>The former British prime minister made the comments as he announced he has joined the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) as an affiliated member.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>In a video published by Hope Not Hate on Monday, Mr Brown said the party had been too slow in dealing with cases of anti-Semitism and urged members to follow him in joining the JLM.</p>
<p>At its annual general meeting next Sunday, the JLM is due to vote on its membership of the party.</p>
<p>Mr Brown also paid tribute to the late Nicholas Winton, who joined the Labour Party in 1936 and who organised the rescue of 669 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia on the eve of the Second World War before helping them to begin new lives in Britain.</p>
<p>Mr Brown said: “The Labour Party has always had a long, proud and noble tradition of standing up against all forms of prejudice and racism.</p>
<p>“But in the last few years it has let the Jewish community down.</p>
<p>“They should never have allowed legitimate criticism of the current Israeli government to act as a cover for the demonisation of the entire Jewish people.”</p>
<blockquote><p>We will never allow evil to triumph over good and neither will the British people</p></blockquote>
<p>He added: “The message to the Jewish community should be clear and unequivocal: ‘You will never walk alone and we will never walk on by on the other side. We must never tolerate intolerance.’</p>
<p>“Solidarity means standing up with those who are under attack and that is why I am joining as an affiliated member. I urge all my colleagues to do the same.</p>
<p>“Tackling anti-Semitism and racism and fighting for equality is not a diversion nor a distraction from our purpose as party – it is our purpose as a party.</p>
