"I regret nominating Jeremy Corbyn and if I knew what I do now, I never would have nominated him," the shadow foreign secretary told the crowd, according to Jewish News.
"I never believed he would become leader. That was a mistake and I am sorry for that."
The MP reportedly said he was "fully behind" the current Labour leadership, with the top spot filled by Keir Starmer with Angela Rayner as his deputy.
He said: "I don't believe the overall culture is toxic any more … but until the party is genuinely welcome for everyone, we remain on a journey."

He said: "I've met some of these individuals and am frankly staggered some are still in the party.
"But as a lawyer, I understand that people appeal and go to court. There is a process, which can feel slow and tortuous sometimes, but it must be undertaken."
