Stain remover

Did Gordon Brown deliberately associate the word "stain" with Jeremy Corbyn and his leadership of the Labour party? Probably not but the association is there and in some minds it may not be inappropriate.

Gordon Brown has said the Labour party must adopt the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism in full, saying it would be a "stain removed".

The former prime minister called for a comprehensive strategy against anti-Semitism in a London speech, saying it was "not just a procedural issue but about the soul of the party".
