Politics

Sreberny is a Labour Party member of the Islington North Constituency Labour Party[4] in Highbury East branch.[5] In April 2018, she was one of 40 senior academics who wrote an open letter to The Guardian condemning what they called anti-Corbyn bias in media coverage of the antisemitism debate saying it was "framed in such a way as to mystify the real sources of anti-Jewish bigotry and to weaponise it against a single political figure just ahead of important elections."[6]
