In suspending @jeremycorbyn the Labour leadership defied the EHRC’s *key recommendation* within minutes of saying they would implement all of the report.
David Evans & @Keir_Starmer have questions to answer.

Here Starmer says the decision was made by the general secretary, but implicitly includes himself as well.
What is more the fact multiple MPs, including Tom Watson, appear to have encouraged Corbyn to act unlawfully (according to EHRC) has not been mentioned. Why?
As with Starmer & Evans now, political interference appears to be fine for media, as long as right people are doing it.

Corbyn wasn’t suspended on membersnet until 7pm *the day after* the press were briefed of his suspension. What is more the letter came from the general secretary not disputes, as it should.
There’s very real concern among staff that the progress made since 2018 is disappearing.

What is more its clear that the GSO *is* a political organ according to the EHRC, which means that Evans involvement is political interference. Not just involvement, he unilaterally suspended Corbyn!
This from p.52 of the report.

Talk of an 'independent complaints process' is ludicrous given Alexander Barros-Curtis, who was the data controller for the Starmer leadership bid (!), is the party’s "executive director for legal affairs".

A number of sources tell me his role *consists in* politicising the party's disciplinary processes. Far from stopping political interference in cases relating to alleged anti-semitism, the Starmer leadership is building it in.
This is all happening as the leader is allowed a free hand to comment on the matter in the media, while the rest of the party is not, with regional executive and Labour-union link committees, as well as ordinary party members, prohibited from even passing motions.
For the past fortnight Starmer, & the circle around him, have repeatedly stated they agree with the EHRC report in its entirety. If they mean that, they must examine their own actions, step up and admit they acted against its findings – & all within minutes of its publication.
