Caught up with the #ReinstateJeremyCorbyn Zoom conference last night, and let me tell you, it is absolutely astonishing how few of his closest allies realise how bang to rights he is against the party's own rule book. I explore the issue in full here:
audioboom.com/posts/7726088-…
The EHRC report has been out for just under a fortnight, and Jeremy Corbyn has still not retracted or apologised for his statement that said "I do not accept all of its findings". Unless that changes, there's no way back for him, and even if it does, he'll need an NEC miracle.
As @AdamWagner1 laid out on @CorbynismTPM, if a senior Met Police officer had said what Corbyn did in the wake of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, they would have been sacked immediately.

The BBC reporting that as shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry was receiving Syria briefings from a notoriously pro-Assad war crimes denier who works for Assad’s father-in-law, and that Corbyn himself had a problem with the White Helmets.
This moment is such a huge vindication for my reporting on the last Labour leader’s Syria position, after I faced years of attack and abuse for reporting the reality behind Corbyn’s position on Syria newstatesman.com/world/middle-e…
I wrote about the issue many times, there was much more I wish I was allowed to publish, but today I will just be thankful that my reporting has been vindicated.

The ludicrous poll Corbyn, Schneider, Raine et al used to defend claims of “exaggeration” was not only wildly misleading, it was commissioned by Greg Philo for a book denying the scale of antisemitism in the Labour Party channel4.com/news/factcheck…
That book was co-written by an antisemitic conspiracy theorist who spends much of his time trying to cover up Assad’s crimes in Syria thetimes.co.uk/article/zionis…
One of the other authors, Justin Schlosberg, is central to the campaign to reinstate Chris Williamson to the Labour Party. These are the people Corbyn was choosing to cite after the EHRC found his office guilty of unlawful discrimination of Jewish people.

Weird seeing people accept the findings of the EHRC, which found Corbyn’s office guilty of unlawful discrimination against Jews, and condemn Corbyn’s rejection of the findings, but still also conclude that suspending him was wrong. Just what does he have to do to be sanctioned?
The first ever EHRC investigation of a political party finds the leader’s office directly responsible for violating equality law and your solution is just to draw a line under it without any disciplinary action for those responsible? Nuts.
There are even those who were acting like the EHRC was good news for Corbyn, rather than one of the most abjectly shameful days in Labour’s history. The Labour Left have zero comprehension of how much they have destroyed their own public image.

This is an absolutely stunning admission about the IHRA definition in Owen Jones’ book, but lacking any moral explanation for years of Corbyn’s and Milne’s activism clearly violating an internationally agreed definition of antisemitism.
It actually doesn’t matter if that belief had no foundation in reality, Corbyn didn’t want to support a definition of antisemitism because he knew he had personally engaged in antisemitic behaviour by that definition. The fact that it wasn’t used to punish him doesn’t change that
As leader in charge of an organisation, Corbyn tried to change a definition of antisemitism, not to protect Jews, but to protect his position as leader of the Labour Party. That’s what direct responsibility for institutional racism looks like.

There's a pretty simple rule to follow on the credibility of Syria analysts. The key factor being whether or not they believe that Idlib survives because of US policy in the region, rather than in spite of it.
The international community stood aside as submit or starve sieges & indiscriminate civilian bombardment became the regime's primary military strategy, then provided diplomatic assistance for the forced displacement that followed. That became US policy post-Russian intervention.
There are actual figures in DC think tanks who endorsed this policy, dressed it up as "reconciliation", and now lobby against sanctions, who based their entire approach to policy on Idlib's population of 3 million people falling back under regime control.
