Keir Starmer
The Equality and Human Rights Commission released a report that found Labour violated the Equality Act of 2010 in three ways: “political interference in anti-Semitism complaints,” “failure to provide adequate training to those handling anti-Semitism complaints” and “harassment.”
Labour Party MP Rebecca Long-Bailey defended her decision to share an article that correlated false information to Israeli security forces.
Jennie Formby defended former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and his controversial ties, saying that it “is impossible to eradicate” anti-Semitism, and that it is “dishonest to claim to be able to do so.”
Controversy ensues over members invited to address the participants.
Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, said in a statement: “In the dying days of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, the Labour Party appears to have invested in a desperate last-ditch attempt to deflect and discredit allegations of anti-Semitism.”
In his acceptance speech, Keir Starmer, 57, apologized to the Jewish community and pledged to eliminate the anti-Semitism in the party, calling it a “stain.”
