Brandon Lewis somehow blames anti-Semitism on the EU

MP Brandon Lewis has blamed anti-Semitism on the EU by suggesting it disadvantaged Jewish residents in Northern Ireland.

It comes after Liz Truss suggested there was widespread anti-Semitism in the civil service.

Lewis suggested Truss' allegations were misconstrued.
