MPs Luciana Berger and Robert Halfon appointed vice-presidents at JLC

MPs Luciana Berger and Robert Halfon have been appointed vice-presidents at the Jewish Leadership Council (JLC).

They are among five new vice-presidents, including former adviser to David Cameron Daniel Korski CBE, Baroness Ros Altmann and lawyer Julian Blake.

The JLC’s vice presidents are Jewish leaders and experts, who advise its trustees and main body, the Council of Membership.

While they do not have a vote, they can attend meetings and contribute their time and experience to the JLC.

Korski tweeted on Tuesday that he was “really thrilled” and “honoured” to support the organisation.

“@JLC_uk has taken a real lead in dealing with the rise of Jew hate, speaking courageously, incl [sic] against the shocking rise of antisemitism in @UKLabour,” he wrote.
