Some wonder why the "Labour Representation Committee" is not slated for proscription by Labour.

Well, indeed.

It has an appalling record in the party's antisemitism crisis, stretching back many years. And here it is promoting tomorrow's assembly of miscreants. 1/8

You know:

"bogus charges of antisemitism"

"Call for the restoration of the whip to Jeremy Corbyn and the reinstatement of unfairly suspended members"

"Ken Loach has sent a special message" 2/8

Here the LRC asks people to support the "Left Legal Fighting Fund". It is a vehicle set up by Chris Williamson. The sole shareholder and director of the company behind it is the awful Bristol professor David Miller. The fund backs people fighting Labour in court. 3/8

Here you will see promotion of "Electronic Intifada", a poisonous website and home to Asa Winstanley, a nasty protagonist in the party's crisis.

And "Palestine Action", a band of racist vandals, many of whom have been arrested.

Oh, and Tony Greenstein and Miller himself. 4/8

So who in Labour is ready to work with the LRC? No surprises. 5/8

Yet even the Dear Leader is not heeded here. 6/8

Jewish community groups have been very forthright about the LRC. They have not been heeded by the party. 7/8

And guess who the LRC's President is? John McDonnell MP.

Here he is lying for the LRC after Labour's massive defeat in 2019. Challenged on LRC antisemitism, he says he is "working within" and thinks he can “turn the LRC round". Yeah, right.

Nothing has changed since then. 8/8
