The Starmer Party’s right-wing leaders can’t let this go, can they?
Here’s an interview with Lisa Nandy, who waxes lyrical about the so-called Labour anti-Semitism crisis and the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s report on it:
"It was a horrible period for Labour… I'm proud to say we can once again look people in the eye."

There are just a few problems with her interpretation. “Let’s take this line by line, shall we?” tweets Simon Maginn.
LN: 'Some of us took the decision that it was completely unsustainable and walked away, and some of us took the decision that it was better to be there and try to mitigate what was happening'.

LN: 'I’ve got good friends who left the party Luciana, Louise, others who stayed like Ruth Smeeth, and just the hurt, the compounding of the hurt, it was just unconscionable'
Reality: 'the hurt', which was 'unconscionable', was 2 cases, both now subject to judicial review.

LN: 'You know, I’ve worked alongside him at every stage of that process and I’m proud actually that we can once again go out and look people in the eye.'

And on the basis of those two disputed cases, right-wing underlings of Keir Starmer have spent two and a half years vilifying Jeremy Corbyn.
Even now, despite the fact that the motion to have him barred from standing as a Labour election candidate doesn’t mention the EHRC report or anti-Semitism in any way, people like Nandy have been turning up all over the media with their mouths stuffed full of it.
They’re full of something, but I can describe it using only four letters.
