Notorious UK antisemite Jeremy Corbyn has waded into New York’s mayoral race — manning phones for far-left frontrunner Zohran Mamdani just two days before voters head to the polls.

The former Labour leader announced Sunday that he joined the New York City Democratic Socialists of America’s get-out-the-vote drive, posing online with a “North London 4 Zohran” shirt and urging supporters to “get Zohran over the finish line for a New York that’s affordable for all.”
Former governor Andrew Cuomo immediately blasted the move as proof of his chief mayoral rival’s extremist ties.

“Having Jeremy Corbyn — someone whose party was found to have committed unlawful acts of discrimination against Jewish people under his leadership — phone-banking for Zohran Mamdani says everything you need to know,” Cuomo wrote on X.

Taking matter further, Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon questioned whether Corbyn’s participation amounted to “foreign interference in a U.S. election,” recalling similar outcry when British outliers campaigned for Kamala Harris in 2024.

Corbyn’s five-year reign over Britain’s Labour Party was marred by repeated antisemitism scandals. A 2020 probe by the UK’s human rights watchdog found Labour under his watch guilty of “unlawful harassment and discrimination” toward Jews which ultimately led to Corbyn’s suspension by current leader Keir Starmer.

However, Corbyn has hardly retreated from politics. Earlier this year, the 76-year-old launched a new movement in Britain called “Your Party,” co-led with former Labour MP Zarah Sultana. The party claims more than 300,000 sign-ups and vows to challenge the “rich and powerful” through wealth redistribution, public ownership, and a hard-line anti-Israel foreign policy.
