This is 1 of 2 complaints in the past 2 days alone where details have come into the public domain and @UKLabour appears to change its mind about whether they are in fact instances of antisemitism which warrant action.

In this case👇🏼the response is now: trib.al/FDV9bgZ
“(the) email sent to complainants in October from the London Regional Office telling them no further action was being taken may have been sent in error.”

(Note the word “may”.)
We then have this case. It wasn’t enough for a member to share this hideous imagery to secure some action. But the member has now been suspended “after further evidence came to light of her conduct”.

Why does it have to take the media to intervene for something to happen?

I have no faith in any of the processes to contend with antisemitism in @UKLabour’s ranks.

I missed #bbcqt last night but for the hundreds of people tweeting/RTing - including from 1 MP - messages denying I had police with me at party conference/saying it’s a smear this is what the police said.

Read it closely.

The clue is in the word “armed”.
The police with me weren’t carrying guns. But they had tasers & batons.

I’m not posting a photo of them because there are plenty out there. But they were with me all of the time, for the entirety of conference, when I walked to the many events outside of the secure zone.
To the individuals and blogs that have posted pictures of me (some of them creepy) without police at various events inside the conference secure zone - that’s because it was a secure zone. Where everyone had been vetted & where there were plenty of uniformed/plain clothed police.

I am not a bystander.

As an elected Member of Parliament it is my responsibility, on behalf of my constituents, to do everything possible to secure a bright future for our country - brimming with opportunity, jobs & prosperity.
But by the Govt’s own assessments (let alone the many independent reports/inquiries from @CommonsHomeAffs @CommonsHealth etc) Brexit will take us in the wrong direction.

We will see economic growth contract, unemployment & poverty increase. The gap between rich and poor widen.
The Chequers deal doesn’t deliver what people were promised when they voted for Brexit.

The proponents of Brexit still won’t publish what their Brexit would look like (while they snipe from the sidelines).

A busy afternoon in the Chamber with 2 Urgent Questions and a Statement from @therea_may. It’s clear after today that we won’t be having anything like a “meaningful vote”, as was promised.
I asked @theresa_may what she had to say to the thousands of young people that took part in the #PeoplesVoteMarch, who didn’t get a say in the referendum. Her answer won’t provide any solace to the next generation.
I asked @DominicRaab how he can reconcile Gov preventing MPs from amending the motion on the final deal with the Leave’s campaign’s promise that Brexit would allow us to ‘take back control.’ He had no answer.

Labour Against the Witchhunt wouldn't even report a Nazi.

LAW have welcomed former MP Jim Sheridan's reinstatement by the party. He was suspended last summer over an #antisemitic statement he posted on Facebook. But LAW don't accept he did anything wrong in the first place. /1
When Labour members err, there ought to be opportunity for them to learn from the experience and make amends. But comrade Sheridan's statement after his suspension was lifted suggested his only regret was getting caught and he appeared to blame those who complained about him. /2
Let's recall what got him into trouble: Sheridan declared he had lost respect and empathy for an entire ethnic group - "the Jewish community" - due to events in @UKLabour. The #Holocaust, pogroms and persecution no longer moved him because of "their Blairite plotters". /3

1.Welcome and thanks for joining us on today's edition of the Centreport Thread themed 'The Apostolic Order'. Kindly follow the thread as we share insightful thoughts on this. #CentreportThread #TheApostolicOrder
2.There are two versions of Christianity. There is a Christian religion that is very popular, just observing a set of rituals in church; when they leave, they check back into a normal life. It is an organized religion that is actually Babylon.#CentreportThread #TheApostolicOrder
3.Babylon is a hybrid monster that expresses itself within the economy and even in the church. You can have religion but not have God. You can set up an efficient system but heaven may not be connected with what you are doing. #CentreportThread #TheApostolicOrder

Against Normalization: The Lesson of the “Munich Post”

1/
THE TRUMP-HITLER COMPARISON.
Is there any comparison? Between the way the campaigns of Donald #Trump and Adolf #Hitler should have been treated by the #media and the culture? The way the media should act now? The problem of #normalization?
2/
Because I’d written a book called Explaining Hitler several editors had asked me, during the #campaign, to see what could be said on the subject.

Until the morning after the election I had declined them.

#thread on @UKLabour NEC Code Conduct on #Antisemitism showing how opposition to it is wrong. Links from Dr Brian Klug, Moran Mandelbaum, David Feldman, Josh Nathan Kazis on Kenneth Stern, Rhea Wolfson, Jennie Formby and Jo Lansman
Firstly this is the NEC code here. Please read. It covers conspiracy theory antisemitism, the 'socialism of fools' and antisemitism masquerading as criticism of Israel. These are the issues that have crept into Labour from the conspiracy theory fringes. thejc.com/comment/analys…
Jon Lansman @jonlansman states the new code is "Labour’s antisemitism code is the gold standard for political parties .. The new code makes clear that discrimination against Jewish people is unacceptable while allowing for legitimate criticism of Israel " theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

1. Remember the British Gas campaign?
"If you see Sid, tell him!"

It got me thinking: what would the Govt have to disclose if they were SELLING US SHARES IN BREXIT?

So I looked at the Royal Mail share prospectus.
It shows how close Brexiteers have come to financial fraud.
2. The first thing you learn is that we can sue Company’s Directors (or Cabinet in our case) if they:

- give info that’s “misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent” or
- omit “key information in order to aid investors when considering whether to invest.”
3. They have to be up-front about the risks.
If not, you can sue them for damages.

That means a Brexit prospectus would have to include:
- all those impact assessments
- realistic projections on trade deals
- likely damage to public finances

Aadhaar Bench assembles. Day 4 Session 1.
Shyam Divan says that Section 59 of the Aadhaar Act, which validates all acts of the UIDAI prior to the Act, applies only to central government actions, as per its text.
SD: This section does not control acts of private entities, like enrolment agencies. Their actions are not protected.
Sikri J says that under the pre-Act regime also, UIDAI also appointed.
SD says no. There was no privity of contract prior to the Act.
