John Mann slams Corbyn ahead of Commons departurepublished at 11:45 British Summer Time 9 September 2019
Press AssociationLabour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been heavily criticised by an outgoing Nottinghamshire MP for allowing the party to be "hijacked" by anti-Semites.
John Mann announced he would be stepping down as representative for Bassetlaw after 18 years last Friday, and will take up a full-time post as the government's anti-Semitism tsar.
The party has been dogged by accusations of anti-Semitism since Mr Corbyn took over as leader.
Mr Mann told The Sunday Times he would "never forgive" him for having "given the green light to anti-Semites".
The Labour Party has yet to respond to Mr Mann's criticisms, but in a reply earlier this year to questions on its handling of anti-Semitism complaints, a party spokesman said: "Labour is taking decisive action against anti-Semitism, doubling the number of staff dedicated to dealing with complaints and cases."

Local Democracy ReporterThe family of a woman who was sedated and moved to a mental health hospital in London after a breakdown at the Bradgate Unit in Leicester have told of their campaign to get her home.
The patient - a 55-year-old wife and mother who her family have asked not to be named - spent two weeks more than 100 miles from her loved ones when she needed a bed on a mental health intensive care ward.
She was being treated at the Bradgate Unit before being sent out of the county for treatment.
Her family told the Local Democracy Reporting Service they had been told she would be moved back to Leicester as soon as there was a bed.
A spokesman for Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust said it cannot comment on individual cases, but said it tries to "avoid sending patients out of area because we know it isn’t easy for families to visit frequently".
"Unfortunately there are times when we have no choice because there are no local beds available," it added.
The cost of sending adult patients with mental health conditions out of the county for care was £3.4m last year with 150 people from Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland sent to other hospital trusts for treatment in 2018 to 2019.

David Pittam
BBC News OnlineA ban on parking on pavements has been proposed by a committee chaired by a Nottingham MP.
Labour's Lilian Greenwood heads up the Transport Select Committee which today recommended councils be given powers to crack down on any anti-social parking.
This is because it believes some vulnerable people are being trapped in their homes.

BBC NewsPlans for high-speed trains to run across major regional cities have been submitted to the government.
A proposed 33-minute service between Birmingham and Nottingham and a 90-minute run from Leeds and Bedford that also calls into Leicester have been sent to the Department for Transport (DfT) by transport body Midlands Connect.
Currently trains between Birmingham and Nottingham take about 70 minutes, while getting between Leeds and Leicester by rail takes more than two hours.
It says the routes, which aren't currently included in the second phase of the controversial multi-billion pound project, would see more people outside of London benefit from faster rail routes between key cities.
The future of the whole HS2 project remains in doubt after prime minister Boris Johnson announced a review into the scheme, but Midlands Connect said its plans could benefit passengers commuting between the cities.
A DfT spokesman said an independent review will consider Midlands Connect's submission.
