Politics and religion are proving a toxic mix for both Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson in GE2019
home in London, a dozen or so guests take their seats for Shabbat dinner, a Friday staple of Jewish households. Before digging in to hunks of challah bread and home-made hummus, each answers a question from their host: “Which non-politician should be prime minister?” One guest nominates Greta Thunberg, a climate-change activist. Another plumps for Prince Andrew on the grounds that he has time on his hands and has already managed to unite the country.
Religious leaders often speak out, but they tend to stop short of telling people how to vote, says Nick Spencer of Theos, a think-tank. Mr Mirvis’s remarks suggest he “considers this issue sufficiently serious as to break the unwritten protocol”, he adds. As for Jews and Muslims themselves, most have already made up their minds. British Jews once favoured Labour, in common with other minority groups. But they began to drift rightward in the 1980s when Margaret Thatcher, then prime minister, held the north London seat of Finchley. Its sizeable Jewish population approved of her lack of prejudice towards Jewish ministers and her rapport with the then chief rabbi.
