Thank goodness for Sienna Rodgers and her report in LabourList. There has been little or nothing in the MSM about the matter.
I am glad also that the feelings of local parties have been reported – in lawyerly language at least. In reality of course – CLPs have been outraged ..
I am sure that some Labour Party members wished the matter could be pushed under the carpet – as with the Forde enquiry .
All power to the elbow of the legal team in making sure this does not happen ..
What a lot of hypocrisy from a Labour Party bad bunch sitting over Jeremy.
Keir says that he wants the Labour Party to be campaigning. Get real, Keir. Your mass suspensions are numbing enthusiasm. My own CLP secretary, a loyal, thinking, hard working woman, is another suspended without reason.
Jeremy Corbyn is the greatest mp of our time’s
A Labour source rejected this claim at the time, saying: “Any accusation that this was a deal or an attempt to determine the outcome of the [national executive committee] panel and disciplinary process is wrong.”
– so, surely, there is no reason why the party should do anything other than disclose the documents.
I have little doubt that Jeremy was told that if he could clarify that he wasn’t implying that ‘concern’ about A/S in the party had been overstated (when he said what he said in his statement the day the EHRC published its report), then his suspension from the party could probably be resolved. And that is why he posted a statement on FB to THAT effect in the early hours of the morning (about 2.00am if I remember correctly) on the day that he was later reinstated late in the afternoon.
The MSM in general – and numerous shills all over social media – painted Jeremy as having done an about turn, and that he was now saying the opposite of what he said that led to his suspension. And if it WAS the case that he was told that if he could make that clarification etc – which I have little doubt it WAS – then Jeremy was tricked by the leadership as such, because there were absolutely no grounds for taking any disciplinary action against him for what he said (on the day the EHRC published its report AND in response to it). In other words, he would have been reinstated anyway had he not posted the clarification, but by asking him to do so, he was made to look like he had caved, AND, made to look like his principles had gone out the window so as to get himself reinstated. And they had the left in mind in particular – ie his supporters – when they came up with the scam.
Clever stuff…… in a devious, deceitful and totally corrupt way!
“surely, there is no reason why the party should do anything other than disclose the documents”
Is this Goldbach’s second conjecture? Let’s hope this one is resolved rather more speedily than the first conjecture which remains unsolved after 279 years. I suspect the answer to this one is negative however.
Corbyn is ” the greatest mp of our times’s” according to John McLaughlin in his comment above.
What I would assert is that Corbyn is the worst leader of our party since inception.
Sorry but I could not give a hoot if Corbyn was in or out the party.
If John McDonnell was our leader we would have swept into power !!!
“It was confirmed in the virtual court proceedings that the investigation by Labour’s governance and legal unit (GLU) into the original complaint against Corbyn did not find that he had engaged in prejudicial conduct”.
The prejudicial conduct came from Starmer, who claimed that Corbyn was an Anti Semitism denialist, trying to minimize anti Semitism within the party, he did no such thing, the Commission said Corbyn had every right to give his opinions on the report. In my opinion Starmer should not have tried to influence the NEC panel by publicly smearing Corbyn and by saying that Corbyn was guilty even before the NEC panel had a chance to meet. Then saying Corbyn should be “nowhere near the Labour party”. Starmer is a disgrace to the Labour party and the legal profession.
I’m glad to be able to read about this article thanks to labour list and Jewish voice for labour,I too have seen nor heard any of this news reported on the mainstream media.this however does not surprise me as this it seems is how some of them operate.i hope justice wins the day for Mr.Corbyn.
