Jeremy Corbyn’s suspension following the damning inquiry is distracting from a genuine desire to fight antisemitism
The damning report by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) on Labour antisemitism released this week found that the party was responsible for unlawful acts. In the range of potential outcomes that could result from the investigation, this was the most serious.
The EHRC, set up under a Labour government, concluded that the party had breached the Equality Act 2010, also introduced by Labour, in three ways: via political interference in antisemitism complaints; failure to provide adequate training to staff handling them; and harassment of Jewish members by agents of the party.
