Margaret Hodge Steps Down

[jon1959]

Yes you keep telling yourself there was no antisemitism on Corbyn's watch as leader .

Ask yourself why does the current leadership excepts its EXISTENCE AND EHRC independent findings , and why is Corbyn still suspended are they all part of your ever revolving Daily Mail conspiracy theory, you will be telling us next the EHRC are part of the evil Daily Mail axis , and they all report to some upper supreme society .

And Chakrabarti conveinant see nothing report into antisemitism was a classic Corbyn move that soon saw her in the House of Lords , oh yes cronyism rewards exists everywhere , yep straight out of the Tory playbook but delivered by the hypocritical Corbyn.

I said there was antisemitism ‘on Corbyn’s watch’. So did he. Corbyn also accepted the EHRC report. You seem to have an equal problem with words and with facts.

It is also clear from this and your previous posts that you have not read either the EHRC or the Chakrabsrti reports.

And you clearly can't stop defending them , after countless suspension , resignations , TV investigations why oh why ?????

I presume from this you can forgive Boris then his behaviours as leader , as you clearly are forgiving of Corbyn a a leader .

Remind me why he is still suspended ????


Equalities and Human Rights Commission published its report, saying Labour had broken the law,

The Commission put some of the blame on "serious failings" under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the party.

I will defend the Labour Party from false allegations of antisemitism (as many of them were) and condemn the real examples of which there were too many. I have bothered to read the relevant reports and also a lot of the published information on allegations, investigations, suspensions and final outcomes. You have not. Most of the press coverage is as inaccurate and lazy as your posts. A large number of allegations were in response to criticism of Israeli war crimes, its official state ideology, defence of Palestinian rights, and comments on the scale of the real problem in the Labour Party - and that covers most of the high profile cases that got press coverage.

You are right in what you now say about the EHRC report - but I cited it to counter your support of Luciana Berger's claim that Labour is/was 'institutionally racist'. The EHRC report never said that. It did conclude that Labour under Corbyn had broken the law (in which case it has continued to do so under Starmer) but also acknowledged that some of the 'interference' from the leader's office was to speed up slow-timed investigations and that some of the process discrimination was suffered by members who were accused of antisemitism.

Corbyn is still suspended from the PLP (not the Labour Party) for factional reasons. There is no other justification.

I have said many times that I think Corbyn was a flawed leader with weaknesses, and he brought some of the crisis on himself by the way he handled it. But he is not an antisemite. Many of his critics are.

Jewish Voice For Labour is a network for socialist and antiracist Jews in the Labour Party, formed in 2017 and with several hundred members. It currently has 11 executive members, 10 of whom have been suspended or investigated for alleged antisemitism (two executive members recently died whilst still suspended). Jewish members of the Labour Party have been targeted and harassed much more than non-Jews through this crisis - and in almost every case it comes down to anti-Zionism being equated with antisemitism. The irony being that argument (equating the interests and identification of Jewish people anywhere in the world with the State of Israel) is itself antisemitic!

There are and were antisemites in the Labour Party. They should be thrown out. But the 'antisemitism crisis' is about something entirely different.
