2. Our full news story is here bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi… - and it is very well worth watching the Panorama tonight - Jeremy Corbyn turned down the opportunity of being interviewed
3. The investigation has spoken to more than 20 Labour officials + discovered there was backlog of 1000 anti-semitism cases this spring, with only 15 expulsions-leaked email chain from Jennie Forbmy appears to suggest interference in controversial cases + Jeremy Corbyn copied in
4. Important to say Labour rejects the allegations made in the programme

Fewer than half of Tory members have so far voted in the leadership contest and sent back their ballot to party HQ - the assumption that they would all make up their mind in a flash has turned out to be wrong
Both campaign camps expected the race to be more or less over by now, but according to several sources that doesn't seem to be the case - means the next few days of campaigning still do matter
CCHQ won't comment on any suggestions about the numbers

Interesting McDonnell says ‘it’s important we look at what’s been said and look ourselves at what’s been happening’ - he does also repeat lines about complaints to Panorama but does not make same accusations about the whistleblowers
McDonnell characterises it as a clash between former staff and current staff - what it is really is seven whistleblowers who used to work in the complaints department , and Corbyn’s inner circle -
And while there is certainly a lot of hostility btw Corbyn and Tom Watson was notable to hear the deputy leader talk on #radio4today about how he is no longer given info either about number of anti-semitism complaints or membership numbers

Darroch’s position was probably impossible after Johnson didn’t back him last night but British ambassadors around the world are not politicians, nor are they chosen by foreign govts - it matters a lot if we just chuck this convention out of the window without a backwards glance
Failing to back Darroch last night was the first major act of the still hypothetical Johnson premiership that led to his resignation
Big principle at risk here - senior figure in govt said late on Monday ‘no country will ever change their ambassador at the request of another country’

BBC Business Editor Simon Jack investigates why the Government capitulated to rich press barons and closed down the Leveson inquiry in this fantastic documentary ‘The Press, the Police, the Politicians and Their Public’.
Listen and share here:
bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… #Leveson2
#Leveson2 would have investigated senior news executives and alleged corrupt relationships between the police, politicians and the press. We know extensive criminal activity occurred at some of our most powerful newspapers, yet NOT A SINGLE EXECUTIVE has been held accountable.
"An awful lot of dirty linen remains unwashed in public, and some newspaper owners have paid hundreds of millions of pounds to keep it that way" Hacked Off are committed to pursuing every avenue to obtain the justice victims were promised, and to see the completion of #Leveson2

There *will* be a public enquiry even if we have to set it up and fund it ourselves. Here's something to bear in mind. In December 2016 the #BBC revealed private advice given to Ministers, by Sir Ivan Rogers, then our ambassador to the EU. Who leaked it?
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Who told the BBC? (I notice that John Redwood seemed pleased to see Rogers go.) On 3 January 2017, Rogers resigned. Was he forced? What on earth had Rogers done? He had told Ministers, CONFIDENTIALLY, that a UK-EU trade deal might take 10 years to materialise.(Btw, he was right.)
Ministers insisted a deal could be done within 2 years. Well, they certainly got that wrong! Nicholas MacPherson, Civil Servant Mandarin, now a Crossbench Peer, said at the time [Rogers'] departure marked a "wilful" and "total destruction" of EU expertise within Whitehall.

Clive Betts, Chair of @CommonsCLG and a Sheffield MP said: "that the bank #RBS actually gets a double benefit, once for fiddling the #LIBOR interest rate, a second time when their council #LOBOloan interest rates go up" bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… #localgov #fraud
#Newham resident @rachel_shares said: "this country has to stand up to the financial institutions that made hundreds of millions of pounds out of them over the last decade. Who has the most power in this situation, #Barclays and #RBS, or Newham Council?" bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

The #BBC says it will not include abortion information on its Action Line website - a site that provides signposting for viewers seeking support on issues covered in their programmes - because it's too "contentious".

Our press release: bpas.org/about-our-char…
These organisations have written to the @BBC calling on them to reverse their stance. Read our letter in full here: bpas.org/media/3103/let…
The issue emerged after an episode of #CallTheMidwife, in which a woman died from an illegal backstreet abortion. Viewers visited BBC Action Line for support but were unable to find information on abortion.

WBA Director of Operations Mark Miles: “I think the Minister has taken a short-sighted view and is preventing the club from creating a safer environment for supporters. The all-seater policy was developed over 25 years ago and football is a very different place now.”
