The EHRC report, Labour Institutional Racism & Institutional anti-Semitism a
🧵👇🏾
equalityhumanrights.com/en/publication…
1/🧵👇🏾
The EHRC categorically did not make the conclusion that Labour was Institutionally anti-Semitic
as the report was NOT tasked with looking at Institutional Racism or Institutional anti-Semitism within Labour
p18 states terms of reference were stated in annex 6
2/🧵👇🏾
Institutional Racism is not covered in the Equalities Act 2010 but is taken from the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry written by Macpherson 1999 & according to the HoC Home Affairs Committee is considered still relevant today
committees.parliament.uk/publications/7…
3/🧵👇🏾
The Macpherson report p369 defines Institutional Racism thus

assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
4/🧵👇🏾
Broken down the definition tells us
a)What it is
b)Who is implicated
c)How it manifests itself
5/🧵👇🏾
a) What it is
The ‘collective failure of an organisation’

so not just individual’s behaviour but the organisational response.
6/🧵👇🏾
b) Who is implicated
‘processes, attitudes & behaviours’

as individuals we are responsible for our attitudes & behaviours so we have individual liabilities,

also as individuals we design, create & implement the processes that can be impacted by our attitudes
7/🧵👇🏾
c)How it manifests itself
‘unwitting prejudice’
‘thoughtlessness’
‘racist stereotyping’
Who doesn’t have prejudices that you don’t realise are prejudices?
Who hasn’t ever been thoughtless? Who hasn’t ever used a racist stereotype they didn’t know was racist?
8/🧵👇🏾
How does this impact @UKLabour & @jeremycorbyn
in particular?

The leaked Labour Report demonstrates HQ was institutionally racist, it clearly states it disproves the idea anti-Semitism wasn’t a problem in the party or it was a ‘smear’ or ‘witch-hunt’
9/🧵👇🏾
The Leaked Labour Report lists a number of failings by Labour HQ & the Governance & Legal Unit, it shows they failed to investigate over 300 complaints of anti-Semitism some of which involved very serious examples of anti-Semitism
10/🧵👇🏾
The EHRC investigation looked at a very narrow time frame between 16 March 2016 and 28 May 2019 although it does make reference to some of Labour’s failings outside this time frame the Leaked Labour Report covers a more broad time frame.
11/🧵👇🏾
Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader in September 2015
7 months later 29th April 2016 he’d commissioned the Chakrabarti Report in to anti-Semitism & shortly after a report in to anti-Semitism at Oxford University both of which can be found within the link to the EHRC report
12/🧵👇🏾
On the 23rd of February 2018 General Secretary Iain McNicol stepped down

13/🧵👇🏾
Jennie Formby appointed General Secretary by Labour’s NEC 20 March 2018
labourlist.org/2018/03/jennie…
14/🧵👇🏾
The EHRC report observed that 20+ years later @UKLabour hadn’t implemented Lawrence Inquiry recommendation to record complaints of anti-Semitism
NOT IN
1999 or Blair’s 8yrs following the Lawrence Inquiry
2007 & Brown’s 3yrs
2010 & Miliband’s 5yrs
2011 & GS McNicol’s 7yrs
15/🧵👇🏾
However according to the EHRC report Labour started to record anti-Semitism cases in 2018 & the Leaked Labour report shows it now
‘seeks to comply with the Macpherson principle’

McNicol left in February 2018
Formby was elected in March 2018
16/🧵👇🏾
The EHRC report was commissioned 28th May 2019 & specifically cites the resignation of ‘over 20 elected representatives’ who resigned between 2018-2019 as a result of Labour’s ‘inaction to tackle anti-Semitism’
17/🧵👇🏾
On the same page it acknowledges in 2016 Labour commissioned not one but TWO investigations in to anti-Semitism - the resigning officials didn’t feel compelled to resign whilst Blair, Brown, Miliband & McNicol failed to apply the Macpherson report
18/🧵👇🏾
For Corbyn to be personally accountable for Institutional anti-Semitism the failing staff need to have been employed by him - they weren’t.
The failing policies need to have been introduced by him - they weren’t
19/🧵👇🏾
For Corbyn to be personally responsible for Institutional anti-Semitism the report needs to be able to demonstrate that once Iain McNichol was removed things didn’t change for the better, it can’t.
20/🧵👇🏾
The Labour Party was Institutionally Racist before Corbyn took over as leader, more progress was made to reverse that under Corbyn than any other leader
21/🧵👇🏾
With holding vital evidence from the EHRC b’cos it will make Labour look bad is a form of IR
22/🧵👇🏾
Despite it being pulled the EHRC have viewed the leaked Labour Report & made these comments
23/🧵👇🏾
24/🧵👇🏾
In short Labour weren’t investigated by the EHRC for Institutional anti-Semitism if it had been it would have been found guilty but Corbyn would not have been found responsible given the amount of changes he & Jennie Formby introduced in five years.

Banned CLPs from discussing VoNC against him

Broke rules to parachute in his chosen candidate

Locked Young Labour out of their accounts for calling for peace

Sanctioned passing rules & applying retrospectively

Now whips against a basic human right

Contrast that to when he was trying to establish his left wing ‘credentials’ for his leadership run

At the start of this thread we see Starmer exercising his democratic right to call a VoNC in Jeremy Corbyn

Now a long overdue call for a VoNC against the most vile govt. in UK history
