IIRC It's around the time Israel starting becoming close to America and spurned Soviet advances. The Communist Party and her fellow travelers didn't much like that. Obviously some of those joined the Labour party.
Plus it isn't just them. The far-right also contains a lot of antisemitism. I guess the more extreme you get, the more you believe conspiracy theories as an explanation for why the world isn't how you want it. And the more you believe in conspiracy theories the more likely you are to move into antisemitic tropes about global world orders and such like.
