A leaked Labour report seems to provide evidence that it was in fact Corbyn’s opponents who delayed the disciplining of antisemites. Why has the media barely mentioned this?
“Anti-Semitism in the Labour Party is complicated because it is not what people traditionally imagine anti-Semitism looks like.”
We need to understand the history of this attempt to define antisemitism.
Of course powerful people organise together. Dismissing everyone who challenges them as "conspiracy theorists" is dangerous
Labour should adopt the IHRA code, with the Home Affairs Select Committee’s caveats

Antisemitism isn't just about individual intent. It's about culture and stories and practice, and the UK Labour party has a serious problem
Team-Corbyn need to get better at listening – starting with the organised Jewish community.
Ironically, it is the
drafters of the Labour party’s NEC Code, not their critics, who have grasped

adopted by the Labour party is a step in the right direction.
These polarising terms should be shelved, and taken out only when we are discussing political philosophy, which most of the time, we are not.
