TWICE as many voters believe Labour was a more "decent" party under Gordon Brown than it is under Jeremy Corbyn, according to a new opinion poll.
The survey by ComRes for Jewish News found 48% considered the party was more decent when Mr Brown was leader as against 24% who thought it was under Mr Corbyn.
Following a summer dominated by allegations of anti-Semitism within the Labour ranks, 50% said the party was not doing enough to deal with the issue, compared with just 19% who thought it was.
Almost a third, 31%, thought Labour now deserved the title "the nasty party" - almost as many as the 34% who believed it belonged to the Conservatives for whom it was originally coined.
- ComRes interviewed 2,002 British adults online between September 19 and 20.
