Martin Forde KC, the author of a major report on allegations of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, has said there are serious issues of racism but, since it was published in July, nobody in the organisation has contacted him to discuss what should happen next.
he has “anxiety” and “genuine underlying concerns” about “racial issues within the party”.
Referring to Sir Keir’s speech last month, in which the Labour leader said the party will “never again be brought to its knees by racism or bigotry”, Mr Forde said: “It is not a sufficient response to say ‘that was then this is now’.”
He added: “These are serious debates that need to be heard in a respectful context. And I just feel this there’s work to be done.”
His words come after he was interviewed by Middle Eastern broadcaster Al-Jazeera for an episode of its Labour Files documentary series, in which he claimed that the BBC Panorama documentary Is Labour Antisemitic had been “objectively entirely misleading”, and that he had been contacted by BBC representatives who wanted him to “amend” his comments on the show.
Here’s how the Al-Jazeera documentary describes what happened:
This man was hand picked by Starmer’s Labour to investigate the Labour leaks.
What Martin Forde KC found when he looked under the car bonnet was not what Sir Keir Starmer KC wanted to hear.
The documentary also suggests that Labour leader Keir Starmer has reneged on a promise to party members from ethnic minorities, that he would take the findings of the Forde Report seriously:
Another commitment Starmer broke
This was a one he made to BAME staff in the party about how the Forde report won't be a whitewashed. pic.twitter.com/urDwjEKNjw
This Writer was on TV last night – albeit TV on the internet.
I was on a programme set up to discuss the new documentary Reaching Over The Noise: Is Labour Really Antisemitic? that was made to counter the false claims made in a BBC Panorama programme a little more than two years ago (at the time of writing).
If you didn’t see it, here it is:
Our YouTube broadcast tonight, was immediately demonitised! We discussed the indy film ‘Reaching Over the Noise’, in response to the Panorama programme, ‘Is Labour Anti-Semitic’. We heard insider’s stories from Siân Bloor & @MidWalesMike. Watch now! https://t.co/XsFCNdtszm

I have to say I was very impressed with the easy wit of Jason Cridland, of Dorset Eye. I wish I could think up genuinely funny – yet pertinent – comments on the spur of the moment like that.
I do tend to take issue with one of the things he said, though. On the definition of anti-Semitism, he put forward the view that people with power and influence define the terms of debate. I think he was referring to the reliance on the IHRA working definition of A/S that is often used to demonise the innocent.
There is certainly truth in that, but I tend to think that ordinary people, looking for an accurate definition, are more likely to go to a source they know they can trust – like a dictionary.
And if you want to see the film we were discussing, here it is:

It’s taken years but at last a group of independent media outlets – and yes, This Site had a hand in it – have released a documentary debunking claims by the BBC’s Panorama that the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn was anti-Semitic.
And it is still topical, three years after the Panorama attack piece was aired.
In the Panorama programme, interviewees alleged that The Labour Party is institutionally antisemitic. After Labour, led by Jeremy Corbyn, strenuously denied the claims, these people sued – and new leader Keir Starmer paid them a six-figure sum, despite having been told the party could win if it mounted a defence.
The new documentary takes a hard look at the allegations in Panorama, examines whether they were really justified, and comes up with an honest answer.
It balances the Panorama piece by interviewing British Jews who approved of Jeremy Corbyn and his leadership of the Labour Party – and revealing the abuse they have suffered as a result.
It examines the individuals whose testimony formed the backbone of Panorama – were they entirely honest or did they have a shared interest in putting forward a particular interpretation of events?
And it asks whether the narrative put forward by the BBC documentary was the whole story – or missed out vital information.

Keir Starmer (left) and his right-wing ACTING general secretary David Evans: they’re doormats to any right-wing organisation that wants to attack Labour, but have no problem attacking left-wing young people.
A new event has been added to the programme of The World Transformed – the left-wing political festival running alongside the Labour Party Conference this year.
Youth Rising for Palestine will take place on September 28, between 3-4.30pm, sponsored by Young Labour and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, in what can only be a bitter humiliation for Keir Starmer and his unelected general secretary David Evans, who – it seems clear – tried to prevent the event from taking place at all.
The event’s blurb states: “May 2021 saw thousands of Palestinians killed by Israeli air strikes in the Gaza strip, in the wake of a wave of protests against violent evictions in Sheikh Jarrar and across occupied Palestine. In response to these attacks, millions mobilised across the world in solidarity with the people of Palestine, including the largest ever UK solidarity demonstration in London attended by overwhelmingly young people. But it is not enough to protest in the streets when thousands of Palestinian lives are lost. As the Israeli state ramps up its regime of apartheid and occupation, while the British political establishment seeks to suppress Palestinian voices and those acting in solidarity with them, how can we build on the explosion of youth-led organising we’ve seen this year to build a long-lasting and cross-generational UK solidarity movement?”
You can see how this would upset Starmer, who has aligned Labour firmly with apartheid Israel through his fawning subservience to the Board of Deputies of British Jews – which has itself just admitted its own strong ties to the Israeli Embassy; apparently it is not a UK organisation but an arm of the Israeli government that is being used to influence UK politics.*
I’m not the only person to see it this way. Consider:
What a genius move!
The event that David Evans and Keir Starmer tried to ban from Labour conference will now be held by The World Transformed!
— Emz The Socialist #OrdinaryLeft ✊❤️ (@EmzTheSocialist) September 1, 2021
How was Young Labour forced to take its event outside the Labour Conference? It’s quite complicated, but I’ll try to take you through it painlessly.
Events had been unfolding for many months but we only found out about them yesterday (August 31) after Young Labour co-chair Jess Barnard finally gave up trying to reason with Starmer (who never responded anyway) and Evans – who, it seems, was more interested in exercising powers he doesn’t actually have:
This is a disappointing and difficult thread to post, so buckle up!
A few months ago, myself and @lara_eleanor met with David Evans once we were told the party would not be holding a young labour conference this year, despite it being a rulebook requirement.
Right – so Young Labour were told they would not be allowed to hold their annual event this year, even though the Labour Party is required by its own rules to host it. Already, Evans was breaking party rules.
If he had provided a reason – even one as flimsy as Covid-19 (it wouldn’t work because then he wouldn’t be holding a full conference) – it wouldn’t have been as bad, but he simply didn’t bother.
Its worth noting here that during all this we have had nothing from Keir Starmer or the leaders office since being elected almost a year ago. No acknowledgement we exist, no reply to emails, nothing.
Okay, so Evans at least promised to provide more resources for a Young Labour presence in the main event. Did he?
No:
So we are now three weeks to conference with the party giving us no information, and just today they have said there is no capacity for due diligence checks until 20th september – these are the necessary checks for every speaker at conference potentially ruling out YL day.
You read that right. YL provided all its required information months ago and was ignored until yesterday – August 31 – when Ms Barnard was given the excuse that the party had “no capacity for due diligence checks” until September 20.
To me, it looks like Evans (and Starmer?) found a reason to want YL’s events cancelled – quietly and without any nasty publicity. Why would they want that? Read on…
Myself and a couple of committee members will now be working around the clock to pull together events with or without the help of the leadership. Young members have bought tickets, paid for travel and accommodation to be here and were promised a YL day by the national party.
Is the picture clearer now? YL wanted to host an event with the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, and Evans (and Starmer?) wanted to put a stop to it. But they didn’t want to be seen to be stopping that particular event, so they created an excuse about “due diligence” checks.*
Ms Barnard, at least, is still willing to work with the Labour leadership…
I felt it was important to set the record straight that we as a committee are doing everything within our power and capacity to deliver for all young members and will make sure any young member who bought tickets will not be let down. In solidarity!
One reason for this feeling is the arrival of a journalist named Oliver Kamm (I had never heard of him either). After Ms Barnard tweeted her thread, he responded with the comment below – claiming that Young Labour is anti-Semitic and wants to see a second Holocaust.
There is, to This Writer’s knowledge, absolutely no evidence to support such a wild claim, so Ms Barnard’s response is entirely understandable.
And take a look at Alex Tiffin’s comment.
Now would be the time you'd expect @Keir_Starmer and @AngelaRayner to come to the aid of their Young Elected Representatives. It is after all their job to support & mentor them
It's not just defamatory for @YoungLabourUK either, but the wider @UKLabour Party in general.
Where are Starmer and Rayner (and, for that matter, Evans)? Nowhere to be seen. Now, why on Earth would they not want to defend their elected Labour Party representative? And isn’t it a dereliction of duty that they have said nothing about this?
Fortunately a few other people have chimed in to have their informed say. Personally, I have no knowledge of this Kamm person so must rely on their information:
First, we had Simon Heffer claiming that Corbyn wanted to 'reopen Auschwitz', and now we have Oliver Kamm saying that Young Labour wants 'a second Holocaust'.
They all know this stuff is unhinged nonsense, but this is what the fake 'antisemitism crisis' has always been: a scam. https://t.co/2DaZ9CZtOG
Oliver Kamm, currently inventing obscene claims with which to brand Young Labour racist, previously wrote that Islamophobia is a "scam," a "fabricated and question-begging linguistic manoeuvre."https://t.co/Wx8FsMW9s1pic.twitter.com/oBeZexnOug
Oliver Kamm used to post in a Chomsky newsgroup in the late 90s/00s. David Graeber was active there at the time and remembered him when I reached out to him a couple of years ago. Kamm had thousands of posts, many originating from his then-employer Commerzbank's IP address. pic.twitter.com/kdhj9oOalu
10 months ago, Keir Starmer removed the whip from Jeremy Corbyn for saying Labour's "antisemitism crisis" had been exaggerated and weaponised, thereby stoking up unjustified fear among British Jews.
In other news, here's Oliver Kamm claiming Young Labour want a second Holocaust. pic.twitter.com/nKBzFtrTjT
— Frank Owen's Legendary Paintbrush 🟨🟥🥀🇵🇸 (@WarmongerHodges) September 1, 2021
Not forgetting that Oliver Kamm's idea of freedom of speech is to threaten and bully younger journalists, such as @OwenJones84, and write to their employers in an apparent attempt to intimidate them. https://t.co/3KPJq0JdVv
— leftworks #WeAreCorbyn #IStandWithCraigMurray (@leftworks1) August 31, 2021
Fortunately, given all of the above, it seems certain that the following tweet will prove inaccurate:
Oliver Kamm seriously tweeted that Young Labour supports a second Holocaust and he can just do that and nothing will happen. Absolutely wild.
So that is the reason Young Labour will be co-sponsoring an event at so-called “Trots’ Jamboree” The World Transformed – alongside the PSC. I wonder if Jeremy Corbyn will attend.
This Writer has no doubt that it will be a much more worthwhile use of your time than whatever vapid puff of hot air will be put up by Starmer’s mob at that time. When’s his leader speech?
Meanwhile, I can only agree with the following two tweets…
The more Keir Starmer targets, silences and purges Palestinian rights campaigners to placate the Jewish Labour Movement [sic] and the Board of Deputies, the more obvious it becomes that Labour's "antisemitism crisis" was all about protecting the fascist government of Israel.
— Frank Owen's Legendary Paintbrush 🟨🟥🥀🇵🇸 (@WarmongerHodges) August 31, 2021
By effectively banning Young Labour from this year's Labour Party conference, Keir Starmer has told everyone who got interested in politics because of Jeremy Corbyn to f*ck off.
— Frank Owen's Legendary Paintbrush 🟨🟥🥀🇵🇸 (@WarmongerHodges) August 31, 2021
… and endorse James Foster’s words of encouragement to Young Labour members who will be attending the conference:
I hope any @YoungLabourUK members, eligible to vote, vote AGAINST the appointment of David Evans at @UKLabour Conference.

All the publicity high-profile politicians (and others) have had from announcing the death threats they’ve received, and the one facing the reality of people following through is an activist from the grassroots.
It seems Sasha Johnson, of Black Lives Matter and the Taking The Initiative Party, had received death threats.
She’s a mother of two, and she’s aged only in her 20s.
In a message on their Instagram feed, TTIP said: “It is with great sadness that we inform you that our own Sasha Johnson has been brutally attacked and sustained a gunshot wound to her head. She is currently in intensive care and in a critical condition.”
They said the attack “in the early hours of the morning” came after the mother-of-two, believed to be in her 20s, had faced “numerous death threats”.
I guess she didn’t rate the protection that some other people in politics get.
I wonder if there will even be a proper investigation.
Let’s all watch developments in this story, very carefully.

The Conservatives are planning to make it easier for them to win local elections by changing the voting system to make it less representative.
Currently, elections for Combined Authority mayors, the mayor of London and police and crime commissioners are carrried out using a version of proportional representation which takes into account the preferences of people whose first choices do not have the highest number of votes.
Two candidates go through to the second round if no one gets more than 50 per cent of the primary vote.
A winner is then chosen from the remaining two by taking preferences into account from the voters who chose eliminated candidates as their first preference.
This means that everybody’s vote helps to influence the result – but the Conservatives lose out.
That’s why they want to change the system to FPTP – “First Past The Post” – in which the party winning the most votes in a single round of voting wins the election, even if it doesn’t have the support of a majority of the people.
Priti Patel announcing the plan to change the system, lied that the British people had rejected proportional representation in a referendum in 2011.
She was wrong. The public endorsed FPTP only for general elections, because the referendum was focused only on them.
The intention is clear: the Tories are going to rig local elections to ensure that they have the best chance of winning.
The London School of Economics has warned that the change could wipe out the accountability of a London mayor (for example) by removing small parties like the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party from the London Assembly, which holds the mayor to account.
And London Labour warned,
For the Tory Government to impose a change to the electoral system without first asking the views of Londoners in a follow-up referendum demonstrates their breathtaking arrogance and their utter disdain for devolution.
Fortunately for democracy, any change to electoral systems will have to be approved by Parliament via legislation, and this cannot happen before the local elections – including the London mayoral election – on May 6 this year.
Just watch how quickly the Tories try to impose the change if they lose that election!

His next job: because Sunak has just served up a Budget ‘for the fairies’ that is likely to fall flat on its face in a few short months.
It seems the phrase du jour is ‘for the fairies’.
Some daft Tory MP said nurses’ calls for pay increases were “for the fairies” – see my earlier story on that.
Now I see Richard Murphy of Tax Research UK has used the same phrase to describe Rishi Sunak’s budget.
He also said the Johnson government is “firing blanks” at every level.
And that Sunak is likely to be back at the Dispatch Box in a very short time with emergency measures to cope with the disastrous failure of all his Budget predictions.
He says these things with confidence because of one simple fact: Covid-19 has not agreed to follow Boris Johnson’s “roadmap” (it’s actually a timetable but you can’t expect a numbskull like your prime minister to understand the English language) out of lockdown.
Don’t take my word for it. Here’s Mr Murphy:

Priti Patel and Boris Johnson: when he gets into trouble, she starts making questionable statements to the media.
It might be too much to say that Priti Patel’s obvious disdain for people of certain ethnic origins makes this a foregone conclusion.
So let’s just allow her record to speak for itself. Run a search for “Priti Patel” on this site and see what comes up. And see this for a current example of her behaviour:
I've signed this letter by @Jamie4North to the Home Office calling for Osime Brown's deportation to be halted.
This shouldn't be a debate. It's time for the hostile environment to end and for disabled people to be treated humanely by our justice system.https://t.co/Rhpdq8gR3t
On the current issue, The Guardian says she described the protests prompted by the killing of George Floyd by police in the United States as “dreadful”.
It seems she didn’t like the way that some of these protests turned violent after police became involved. Or did I misinterpret those events?
So, what did she think of the peaceful gesture that people chose to make – “taking the knee”?
Asked if she would be prepared to take the knee, she replied: “No I wouldn’t, and I would not have done at the time either.
So in other words, she didn’t like any kind of protest?
“I don’t support protest…”
Wow. So we’re all supposed to just knuckle under and accept any kind of ill-treatment, no matter how appalling – including murder by police officers?
I’m not okay with that. And I’m not alone:
Priti Patel: I oppose violent protests
Interviewer: Here is an example of peaceful protest
As Home Secretary Priti Patel is naturally against violent protest, so obviously she’ll recognise the importance of non-violent prot… Ah, no, she’s against that too.https://t.co/q9n0QK1YB5

Jeremy Corbyn: if you need a reason to support him (and listen to his Canary interview), just consider the dire state of the hate-filled people who don’t.
If Jeremy Corbyn has been interviewed by The Canary, and it’ll go out at 7pm on Thursday, then This Writer will be watching it and no amount of unsubstantiated lies and malicious gossip by the “anti-Semitism” fakers is going to stop me.
If you’ve got any sense, you’ll be like me.
There is no evidence to show that either Corbyn or anyone concerned with The Canary is, or every has been, anti-Semitic but whenever either of them does anything of note, the same weary weirdoes come out of the woodwork, beating the same worn-out drum.
None of them ever back up their accusations with fact, because they can’t.
I won’t name any of them here; nor will I publish their rants – because they simply don’t deserve the oxygen of publicity.
But we can all see them for what they are:
Its totally wrong for Jeremy Corbyn to do an interview with The Canary.
But it's totally right for me to do interviews with The Times, The S*n, The Daily Heil and LBC.
Labour politicians should not speak to left wing outlets. We don't do socialism in this party.
The UK is a country where 95% of mainstream media outlets push racist headlines almost everyday, and you're telling me The Canary is beyond the pale because it took a moral objection to apartheid? Jesus sees you, you racist fuckers.
Here’s The Canary‘s trailer for the interview. Please feel free to share it everywhere.
🤩 We're excited to announce a new Canary video series featuring intimate conversations with inspirational people on the FrontLine. First up, none other than Jeremy Corbyn! Tune in at 7pm on Thursday for the full 50-minute video. pic.twitter.com/qlXVh2roTv
I’d be especially grateful if you would retweet it on Twitter and tell everyone that @MidWalesMike asked you to do it. My personal account is still suspended from that platform for no stated reason so it would be nice to be able to show that I won’t be silenced.

A pub in New Brighton, Merseyside, has re-branded itself after new ‘Tier 3’ rules forced it to close again.
For the time being, the pub formerly known as the James Atherton, after the founder of New Brighton, is now The Three Bellends – after the architects of the area’s misery: Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock and Dominic Cummings.
Anyone who is familiar with vulgar slang will understand exactly how appropriate the title is, as attached to those individuals.
According to the Huffington Post,
Daniel Davies, chief executive of pub owners Rockpoint Leisure, said the new name “really reflects the mood of the nation” and was chosen on Tuesday when he was forced to tell his staff the pub would have to close.
“It really tears the heart up,” he told HuffPost UK. “It just really, really infuriated us and made us think: why are they doing this? All the evidence points against shutting down places like public houses.
“They’re bellends because Boris and co said they would invest a lot in the north when he got in – but they’ve done nothing for the north. They’re not being affected by this lockdown.”
The change has been rung in with huge support:
My day is now complete, something to bring a smile to everyone’s face
New Brighton Merseyside have got a cracking sense of humour😂

And it has launched a rallying cry for pubs across the country to rebrand in similar ways – as visual demonstrations of their disgust at Johnson, his government, and their daft policies:
