JVL Introduction
Are we about to witness a cover-up of the allegations in the leaked Report?
Brian Eno fears so.
But even if we don’t, and the Labour Party enquiry duly holds people to account, it will have had nothing to do with our mainstream media.
As Eno points out “This should be the political story of the year.”
Yet mainstream media have colluded, shamefully, in suppressing the Report.

The leaked Labour report should have been an explosive scandal
But the media buried it, because they were complicit

This was not the only scandalous story and campaign that was suppressed.
How about the Al Jazeera documentaries of the Israel Lobby in the UK and the US. These graphically proved the complicity of the UK lobby with the Israel Embassy and the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and showed how the Jewish Labour Movement and Labour Friends of Israel and the whole plethora of associated campaign groups linked to BICOM worked with the grower of Labour MPs to undermine Corbyn and blacken the Labour Party with antisemitic slurs. This should have been a major story in the MSM but how much of it was actually taken note of?
Also the clear and detailed report ‘Bad News for Labour’ was similar;arly ignored. Further Corbyn’s record of EDMs signed against antisemitism and Corbyn’s actual work with and for the Jewish community was totally sidelined, except for the articles written by Geoffrey Alderman and the statements by John Bercow showing how Corbyn was not in the least antisemitic.
Investigations into all this and also into the workings of the IHRA Definition to undermine free speech and as a threat to democracy should be brought into the limelight.
How about a conference to cover all these themes and a campaign to reverse the terrible effects of them and to re-instate all those Labour members who were so unfairly expelled?
Yes, I support democracy. In disbelief and horror I watched New Labour, the BBC and all the MSM reporters maligning Corbyn who has always been an honourable man. It is my belief that, under the current administration, we no longer have a democratic Labour Party. Many of my friends have cancelled their membership but as long as Jeremy stays with it, so will I.
please do similar investigation into electoral fraud and postalvote loss thank you
Hardly surprising. I saw the rise of new Labour. I listened to people who had been expelled. They had quotes from meetings going back years. We had been spied on by members of our own party.
Excellent article. Yes, congratulations to Novara Media for publishing the leaked report. We need to ditch the MSM and support the left wing alternative.
Absolutely.
It is apparent that any investigation needs to look at the avenues of communication between the MSM and those seeking to undermine Corbyn’s Labour Party.
A very clear and well written article that has made the whole issue much more
significant for me by drawing together all the fragments of information. The MSM in this country has a great deal to be ashamed of, not only the character assassination of one of our most honest and kindly politicians in a very long time, but coming very close to being complicity with the appalling surge to the Right we have witnessed all over Europe in the last decade or so.
In his article Brian says that: ‘This should be the political story of the year – but most of the media were complicit in it, so it’s been quietly forgotten.’
Well it may have been ‘quietly forgotten’, but most of the MSM covered the report in terms that painted Jeremy and the left in a totally negative light. The following is from an Evening Standard ‘article’ posted on April 14th on their website (and I assume it was also in the actual hard-copy newspaper, which has a circulation of 800,000):
An internal “investigation” launched in the dying weeks of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, and now leaked , was a bald diversionary tactic based on a convenient delusion. It contends (after a Stasi-like trawl of internal mails and messages in search of disloyalty) that the widespread concern over anti-Semitism within the party was confected for reasons of “factional hostility”.
As conspiracy theories go, this one is up there with 5G equipment spreading Covid-19.

And in case you didn’t see it, Skwawkbox posted the following article shortly after the report was leaked:
Leaked Labour report shows Wallasey members WERE stitched up over ‘Brickgate’
https://skwawkbox.org/2020/04/14/leaked-labour-report-shows-wallasey-members-were-stitched-up-over-brickgate/
And needless to say, the MSM – who were more than happy to report all the false and concocted allegations against Wallasey CLP – had nothing to say about it of course.
NB What further proof does anyone need that it’s impossible to get the truth out there and counter all the lies and falsehoods.
Just came across the following – ie the CAAs ‘coverage’ of the leaked report (posted on April 17th):
LABOUR PUTS JEWS AT RISK YET AGAIN…..
‘The real effect of the unauthorised release of the unredacted report, however, is the threat that it poses to the Jewish complainants, victims and officials who are not only mentioned by name in the report but whose religion and ethnicity is also highlighted therein. It is understood that some of these names are now being listed on far-left and far-right websites and that threats have been made.’
Funny how they don’t include any of these threats in the article. As for ‘Jewish complainants’, well THAT’s the CAA for you!
