From what I hear from a handful of friends who are long-time members of the Labour Party is that the meetings have changed quite radically in content and tone. Many moderates have left. Unless you’re 100% on message - willing to discuss Palestine but not Brexit ..... you’re labelled a ‘Blairite’ and ignored.

So when Milliband was leader, labour was ok, but when Corbyn takes over, it's got a deeply held institutional problem with anti-Semitism?
I can't say either way, I just find it coincidental that this became a stick to beat Corbyn with after several failed putsches from the Blairite wing of the party, a title that serves both them and the opposition very well in making Corbyn appear even more divisive and unelectable. The way the investigation is being conducted is also strange-contacting over a hundred people for response rather than asking people with concerns to approach investigators.
Anyway, apparently the UN is also an anti-Semitic organisation because it tabled motions denouncing Israel's indescriminate killing of Palestinian civilians. If that's the current threshold for being an anti Semite I find that troubling.
