Standing ovation for Margaret Hodge speech about rooting out antisemitism through Labour Party rule changes. The change to disciplinary procedures, which will give more power to NEC, very significant. Feels as though a very important reform is coming
If the reform passes, there would be a new internal disciplinary process with independent oversight for cases about antisemitism, Islamophobia, other forms of racism, sexual harassment, and discrimination on the grounds of disability, sexual orientation…
age, religion or belief, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, marriage and civil partnership. For these complaints, the role of the national constitutional committee will be take by an independent complaints board (ICB) with 12 members with time-limited terms…
The ICB will hear these cases. It will have four lawyers, four HR or regulatory professionals and four party members, and it will adjudicate via panels of three. They will be appointed by a standing recruitment committee, whose members would be appointed by the general secretary.
