And where, dare we ask, is the investigation into Islamophobia in the Conservative party - which is based on my experience of Tory voters likely to be a much more widespread problem.

What I find more worrying is how AS was weaponized to ensure Corbyn was unelectable. It would appear that some Labour party officials were involved, but how far does this undemocratic cancer spread?

It's absolutely appalling - and so many senior figures are implicated that it almost renders the new leadership, and their senior appointments, illegitimate.
Keir Starmer has a big test here - which I have no doubt he'll fail, given than he had the report for a week prior to the leak; and his first act when forced to respond, was to release a statement saying there'll be an investigation - but with a strong emphasis on finding out how it was leaked, rather than any condemnation for the vile behaviour of, for example, his top pick for General Secretary, who also happens to be married to one of the few MP's who survived into the new centrist shadow cabinet.

The Daily Mail is directly quoting the Labour party's report.
Quote:The events which led to this investigation, including the party becoming host to a small number of members holding views which were unarguably hostile to Jewish people and in some cases frankly neo-Nazi in their nature, are deeply disturbing

Absolutely true - and what's even more disturbing is that Corbyn's attempts to deal with it were deliberately stymied by Ian McNichol and his cronies, to damage the LOTO and his allies; not to mention their racism, sexism, misogyny and ableism - and effectively fraudulent use of membership fees to benefit their own faction of the party.
The Labour party is deeply rotten I'm afraid to say - and the most disturbing element of that rot is nothing to do with antisemitism; 0.08% of party members resigned or were expelled for genuine anti-Semitism - and rightly so - but the duplicity and bullying of disgusting plotters like McNichol, Oldknow, Ashworth, Tom Watson, Wes Streeting and many others, is the real and present danger. I struggle to see how they'll recover, because Keir Starmer is wet and ineffective - and seems to be directing his main effort to outing the whistle-blower rather than dealing with the problem. Several hundred thousand members joined the party because of Corbyn - wiping out its debt and giving it plenty of cash to work with; when they leave, for surely they will - I can't see Tony Blair and Starmer's other secret sources replacing all that money.
