Anti-Semitism report: Labour broke equalities law

A report into allegations of anti-Semitism in Labour found the party was "responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination".

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said it "identified serious failings" in the party's leadership in addressing anti-Semitism.

It also said the party had "inadequate processes" for handling complaints.

The watchdog gave the party an unlawful act notice, meaning it has to publish an action plan within six weeks.

Not surprised in the slightest

The political left and so-called "progressives" are the strongest allies of Islamisation in Europe.

Until Islam does not need them anymore. Then they end like the communist Tudeh in Iran after Khomenei did not need them anymore.

Idiots.

Or suicidal idiots, I should say. This Sauron does not accept a coexisting equal by his side. Never did.

Oh wait, there is no Islamisation happening inEurope, sorry, I sometimes forget that, I was led on a wrong track.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has suspended Jeremy Corbyn from the party over his reaction to a highly critical report on anti-Semitism.

The human rights watchdog found Labour responsible for "unlawful" harassment and discrimination during Mr Corbyn's years in charge of the party.

But Mr Corbyn later said the scale of anti-Semitism within Labour had been "dramatically overstated" by opponents.

Labour said he was being suspended "for a failure to retract" his words.

Mr Corbyn reacted by calling the move "political" and promised to "strongly contest" it.

Sir Keir Starmer has defended Labour's decision to suspend Jeremy Corbyn from the party after the former leader's reaction to a report on anti-Semitism.

The UK's human rights watchdog says Labour broke the law by failing to stamp out anti-Jewish racism in its ranks when Mr Corbyn was leader.

Mr Corbyn said the scale of Labour anti-Semitism had been "dramatically overstated" by his opponents.

This comment prompted Labour to suspend Mr Corbyn from the party.

The unprecedented move was defended by Sir Keir - who took over as leader from Mr Corbyn six months ago - as the "right" thing to do.

He also said there was no reason for the party to descend into "civil war" over it.

General secretary of the Unite union, Len McCluskey, called it "an act of grave injustice which, if not reversed, will create chaos within the party and in doing so compromise Labour's chances of a general election victory".

I think 'civil war' is a safe bet now.

Civil war in the Labour party

What will it end with ? Will the party survive as one or will it be shattered into smaller parties ?

I think it will survive because there has always been a hard left element within it. The current problem being they have never been stronger under Steptoe, hence the turmoil we now see erupting.

Might be me but why has it gone all quiet regarding the Brexit negotiations?

Far too complicated....much easier if we simply invade and occupy

Keir Starmer was struggling last night to contain an escalating row over Jeremy Corbyn’s suspension from the party following last week’s bombshell report on Labour’s handling of antisemitism in the party.

A union leader has accused Starmer of using the issue to pursue a “civil war” within the party, and joined with six other union bosses in issuing a joint statement describing the suspension of Corbyn as “unjust”.

The unions’ intervention came as antisemitism campaigners seized on Corbyn’s suspension to warn that the party remains “unsafe” for Jewish members until it thoroughly investigates 15 other MPs about whom they have lodged detailed complaints, including deputy leader Angela Rayner.

It would appear the unions are closing ranks and uniting in a power struggle within the party.

Some things never change.

I think whatever level of popularity he used to enjoy has long gone now.
