Our activist @CJ_Appleby has written a powerful & emotional resignation letter to @JennieGenSec and @UKLabour.
His account of #labconf2018 describes a nightmarish atmosphere where outright hate speech was commonplace.

“I was a delegate at Conference in Liverpool. It wasn’t a welcoming place for a Jew.

At breakfast on Monday, I was joined by two people I’d not met before. They hadn’t met each other before. They were both delegates.

Here are the crosstabs if anyone wants to dig around:
