Starmer perverts findings of #EHRC report on #Labourantisemitism in his initial response
Keir Starmer: his response to the EHRC report on Labour anti-Semitism is a betrayal of party members and former party members who were falsely accused.
Keir Starmer: what a piece of work!
Responding to the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s report that found Labour was not guilty of “institutional anti-Semitism” – and to Jeremy Corbyn’s reaction to it, Starmer said that anybody who claimed complaints of anti-Semitism against Labour were “exaggerated” has “no place in the party”.
But the fact that complaints were exaggerated is recorded in the EHRC report.
It shows that the party was unfair to the respondent – the person complained about – in 42 of the 70 cases that it investigated.
This indicates that the extent of anti-Semitism in Labour was inflated by people making false accusations – and that Labour Party officers helped perpetuate this myth.
This Writer was among those who bore the brunt of this discrimination. I was expelled from the party under false pretences and had to go to court to point this out. The verdict in my case against the party for breach of contract will be announced on November 24.
In the meantime, I await an announcement of action against those party officers who used the complaints process to attack innocent members.
I fear I may be waiting for a long time.

He has effectively ripped the very heart out of the Party, and for what?,
What remains worth voting for ?
For every MP he suspends or chases away it’s one less oppostion vote, it really makes you wonder whose side is he batting for …….
I have never trusted this person. It seems that I was right not to.
You believe me yet?
The fact that in 42 of the 70 cases investigated the party was found to have been unfair to the accused, does not, in itself, establish that the accusation was unfair. It could simply reflect the bias of those doing the investigating.
That’s a fair point. But whether the accusation was fair or not, there was no way those people could get a fair hearing.
