  • Yes, but when the General Secretary took that action a few hours after the leader of the Party stated that Shah wouldn't be suspended and a statement was released saying "we're saying she's made remarks that she doesn't agree with". The context is rather important. Whichever way you try to spin this, the Labour party has a massive problem from its roots up to Corbyn (to mention a few - the Oxford University Labour Club, Gerry Downing, Vicky Kirby, Seumas Milne, Corbyn's acquiescence in all of this).

    What is Corbyn's history of antisemitism? That's a pretty bold claim. The JC tried to push it during the leadership race and it was total smear (which, if I remember correctly, did a good job of pissing off a portion of its readership).

    I agree with the position that antisemitism should have no home in any party, least of all Labour. It's vile and pathetic and really, really, makes me sad.

    Equally, using claims of anti-Semitism (and people's apparent reluctance to call bullshit on those claims) is as bad, and diminishes actual anti-Semitism / racism of any kind.
