Hostilities recommence over alleged #Labourantisemitism ahead of EHRC report
After a relatively quiet summer when we all had other things on our mind, it seems the controversy over alleged anti-Semitism in the Labour Party is about to well up all over again.
Hostilities have resumed ahead of publication of the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s report on alleged institutional anti-Semitism in the party under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership.
According to The Guardian,
Senior Labour figures are braced for the equalities watchdog to rule that the party acted unlawfully in its treatment of Jewish members.
Sources close to the inquiry said an earlier draft report found evidence of indirect discrimination in the operation of the party’s processes, which would be a breach of equalities law.
A draft report is known to have been shared with the Labour party in July, as well as with a small number of key figures from the Corbyn administration.
There are understood to have been multiple challenges to the draft report and the EHRC’s final conclusions have been kept under wraps.
[Current Labour leader Keir] Starmer is likely to accept all of the report’s recommendations, though a legal challenge to the EHRC’s findings is planned by Jewish supporters of Corbyn if they disagree with its conclusions.
But we should all bear in mind that the anti-Corbyn Graun is widely considered to have played a large part in stirring up the scandal in a bid to see him forced out of the Labour leadership.
As an example of the hostilities that are breaking out, consider the last paragraph quoted above, saying that Jewish supporters of Jeremy Corbyn will launch a legal challenge to the EHRC’s findings if they disagree, and then consider this (with apologies for subjecting you to some vile language):

As you can see, the insults are already flying without a scrap of evidence one way or another.

The EHRC is way too close to the Tory government, they will manufacture problems whether they exist or not, and blame Corbyn and his supporters because it suits their agenda. I’m waiting for the investigation on Islamophobia in the Tory party, but I guess that’s not going to happen.
