It comes as Corbyn faces criticism for not being tough enough on anti-Semitism in the Labour party.

Labour MPs including shadow chancellor John McDonnell appealed on the businessman to delete his tweet and “bring people together".

Lord Sugar said the post was “a joke” and “there is no smoke without fire in Labour”.

Once a member of the Labour party, the television personality resigned in 2015 in protest over the party’s stance on business.
