The party’s delays in dealing with antisemitism caused real hurt. But new rules have made ejecting racists swifter and easier
- Karie Murphy served as Jeremy Corbyn’s chief of staff from 2016 to 2020
Ex-Corbyn aide Karie Murphy says she is proud of record on antisemitism
In the coming weeks, we can expect to hear more about the handling of antisemitism complaints in the Labour party. That’s because the investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), launched last year, is due to be published.
Dealing with the EHRC, and getting input into the investigation process, has not always been easy. So, as someone who was at the centre of dealing with these issues, in parliament and at Labour HQ, I want to set the record straight. Under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, antisemites were removed from the Labour party more quickly, transparently and effectively than ever before.
