Over 70 whistleblowers. From staff at the beginning and at the end of the Corbyn era. Pre and post McNicol. Including staff who worked in JC & JF offices who broke ranks to help the EHRC.
Or briefed extracts of a report seemingly attempting to lay the blame at 2 individuals.

I don't think anyone has ever denied that factional rubbish in the Labour Party played a role in allowing the spread of antisemitism to occur. It created fertile ground. It gave people permission to dismiss it as just politics. Which seems to be exactly what is happening here.
But ultimately when you are in charge, you take responsibility for what happens on your watch. It's quite clear that for those people in charge, the easy escape was to blame the issues on factionalism rather than accept the evidence right in front of them.
I expect the whole report to be leaked anyway. So I assume on due course we will see everything it alleges and the EHRC can analyse it. From the Sky News report it seems to destroy the key findings in the Chakrabarti Report anyway.
