Whitehall sources told The Times that Boris Johnson asked Sir Alex Allan to change his report to state that there was not clear evidence of bullying at home office
Sir Alex refused and said he’s quit if the PM overruled him - which is exactly what happened today
No 10 tonight confirmed Boris Johnson spoke to Sir Alex about report but did not comment on whether he asked him to tone it down
‘As you would expect, the PM spoke to Sir Alex Allan to further his understanding of the issues
* Serious failings in leadership & an inadquete process for handling complaints
* Political interference in complaints
* There were 'unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination'
* Culture which 'at worst' could be said to accept anti-Semitism
The EHRC found *23* instances of political interference by Labour staff in anti-semitism cases, including decisions over whether to investigate or suspend
'We concluded that this was indirectly discriminatory and unlawful, and that Labour was legally responsible for it'
Antisemitism by 'ordinary' labour members:
* Diminished scale of Holocaust
* Expressed support for Hitler
* Compared Israelis to Hitler
* Claimed there was a 'witch hunt' in party
* Conspiracy theories about Rothschilds & Jewish power
Boris Johnson has been directly warned by Tory MPs that an algorithm at the heart of his planning reforms risks 'destroying suburbia' and creating 'slums of the future'
