UK Labour to readmit Corbyn after antisemitism suspension - report
|
 [Jpost] The former leader of Britannia's Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn will be readmitted after he was suspended from the party for downplaying a report that detailed serious failings in its handling of antisemitism complaints, The Guardian reported.
Goodness — a whole twenty days in the Time Out Corner. I’m sure he’s learnt his lesson from that. The Equality and Human Rights Commission said in October it had found evidence of failure to adequately train people investigating alleged antisemitism, political interference in the processing of complaints, and harassment of individuals.
Current leader Keir Starmer has been trying to make a clean break from the hard-left Corbyn era as he seeks to turn around Labour's fortunes after four successive general election defeats since 2010.
Organizations develop personalities of their own, nearly impossible to change once they’re set. But it was nice that the guy with the Jewish wife and kids tried. Earlier on Tuesday, Corbyn sought to draw a line under the issue.
"I hope this matter is resolved as quickly as possible, so that the party can work together to root out antisemitism and unite to oppose and defeat this deeply damaging Conservative government," he wrote on Facebook.
Evidently discomfited by the decision by the committee, which he does not control, Starmer tweeted Tuesday evening that the decision marked “another painful day for the Jewish community and those Labour members who have fought so hard to tackle anti-Semitism.” He said he would “not allow a focus on one individual to prevent us from doing the vital work of tackling anti-semitism. When I stood as leader of the Labour Party, I was clear that my first priority would be to root out anti-Semitism. It still is.”
