This report is particularly damming on some staff members track record on mental health. The party must act now to address this abelist and abusive culture towards MH, and ensure the worst perpetrators never again hold positions of power in our party. A thread: 1/9
Senior staff here discuss Corbyns chief of staff, referring to her as 'crazy' 'fuckwit' 'bitch face cow' 'crazy snakehead lazy' 'medusa monster' 'would make a good dartboard'. 2/9
One of the most disgusting pieces in this report, senior staff commenting that they hope a young member who they recognise has mental health problems, dies in a fire, with multiple staff members joking about this. 3/9
Another member of Corbyns team repeatedly on the receiving end of mental health slurs, alongside bullying comments about Jeremy Corbyn. 4/9
Staff repeatedly used slurs and terms that were used as reason for disciplinary action against the membership. A toxic trope of those with mental health issues being 'frightening' is used here. 5/9
Countless examples of contempt for members are evident in this document and according to this document, none of the staff have been investigated or disciplined for this behaviour. 6/9
compliance cases: a member who was victim of racist abuse and mental health slurs reported this to the party with evidence. It appears the victim of the abuse was suspended, and the individual they reported did not face disciplinary action. 7/9
There are, I'm sure many more examples of this: it all needs to be stamped out.
It is utterly unacceptable for the worst perpetrators in these documents to hold positions in a party that was founded by trade unions, who have fought for generations to end this discrimination 8/9
Solidarity with BAME, Women, Jewish, Muslim, disabled members, anyone battling mental health illnesses and those who feel despair reading this. The members fighting day in day out against this kind of injustice are the true representatives of the Labour Party. 9/9
Excuse the typos and spelling mistakes, shaking with rage still.
