Lord Sugar sparks outrage by tweeting image of Jeremy Corbyn with Adolf Hitler

It didn't go down well.

Lord Sugar caused outrage on social media after a tweet he sent on Friday night depicted Jeremy Corbyn sitting next to Adolf Hitler. The image shows the Labour leader's head superimposed on the body of someone sitting beside the former Nazi Party leader. It was accompanied with the caption:  'When you're pictured at Nuremberg and claim you thought you were going to a car rally'. Sugar was famously a Labour supporter during the Tony Blair years but has distanced himself from the party since Corbyn became leader. The Labour Party are currently in the midst of an anti-semitism row, sparking Sugar to send the tweet to his 5.5million followers. After it was called out as distasteful by many outraged Twitter users, the Apprentice host has since deleted it. Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell called on Alan Sugar to "delete and disown" the tweet. https://twitter.com/johnmcdonnellMP/status/979820655934951424 Lord Sugar later replied, apologising to McDonnell for any offence caused by the tweet but stressed that he was not the originator of the image he had shared. He closed his response by saying Corbyn needed to make a 'firm statement' about antisemitism. https://twitter.com/Lord_Sugar/status/979996946634104832
