The Jewish Chronicle has been rapped by press regulator the Independent Press Standards Organisation after wrongly reporting that a prominent Labour member was Jewish.

It is the second time in under two months that the weekly paper has been found in breach of editorial guidelines set by the regulator.

The Chronicle reported in March last year that Jenny Lennox had told a meeting of the Walthamstow Labour Party that the only anti-Semitism she had seen within the party was “Jews attacking other Jews for having the wrong attitude on Israel”.
