'HE'S DANGEROUS'
Lord Sugar says Britain needs to ‘get RID’ of Jeremy Corbyn – as Labour boss to meet fuming Jewish leaders in anti-Semitism row
JEREMY Corbyn is "dangerous" and Britain must "get rid of him", former Labour donor Lord Sugar has blasted.
The news comes as the Labour boss is set to meet with Jewish leaders to discuss anything and everything they want to raise with him, after he faced a furious backlash for attending a Passover event with a far-left group.

Speaking to ITV last night the Apprentice boss said: "This country needs to get rid of him. There is no question of it. I don't have the solution how to get rid of him.
"He is absolutely dangerous, totally totally dangerous and the [Labour] Party is powerless to try and get rid of him."
Meanwhile, the Labour leader told the Board of Deputies and the Jewish Leadership Council he would meet with them "without any preconditions" and accepted that he had to take personal responsibility for leading the fight against vile anti-Semites in the party.
In a letter sent by Mr Corbyn to Jewish leaders, he told them he recognised the "full legitimacy" of concerns about anti-Semitism, whether they were raised by MPs or party members.

He wrote: "I recommit to doing all I can to address the anguish and distress caused to many people in the Jewish community....
"My door will remain open to all Jewish organisations to discuss how to deepen our cooperation in the fight against anti-Semitism."
It comes after he faced fury from MPs and mainstream Jewish leaders for going to an event on Monday evening with a group who had described anti-Semitism allegations as a "smear" against him.
But yesterday Mr Corbyn doubled down, refusing to say sorry for going to the event by a group which also demanded the destruction of Israel.
He said it was a "good thing" to attend and that he "learned a lot" from talking to youngsters at the feast in North London.

that the group has also published a prayer about the Royal family in the past, saying "f**k the Queen and especially f**k Prince Philip" and called for Parliament to be burned down.
The paper says the group chanted "f**k the police" and "f**k the Tories" in Monday's meeting too.
Former Labour peer Lord Sugar told ITV News: “This country needs to get rid of him. He is dangerous."
And today the UK's Chief Rabbi admitted he had "grave concerns" about the Labour boss.

Ephraim Mirvis is considering making an intervention over the next fortnight over concerns about the party's handling of the crisis, the Telegraph reported.
Jonathan Arkush, President of the Board of Deputies of Jews, said: "It's fair to say he [the Chief Rabbi] has grave concerns.
"The Chief Rabbi is very worried, he absolutely shares our concerns.
"This [the Jewdas Seder] was an event at which hostility was expressed to the mainstream Jewish community. Right now the message I am getting is that I can't take seriously anything he [Jeremy Corbyn] he says."
Meanwhile, it was reported yesterday that the Labour party has actually signed UP 1,000 members in the last week, at the peak of the bigger civil war over anti-Jewish hatred.
At the same time, 180 party supporters also tore up their membership cards, following the lurid anti-Semitism claims.
