Martin Forde, commissioned by Labour to investigate factionalism and racism in the party speaks publicly for the first time about what he calls the party's hierarchy of racism:
"Anti-black racism, islamophobia, isn't taken as seriously as antisemitism"
"In his report published in July 2022 Forde made 165 recommendations; he was surprised to have heard almost nothing from the party since"
"The issue of AS - and the belief that Labour under Jeremy Corbyn harboured anti-Jewish racists - dominated the British media for the 4 yrs of Corbyn's leadership. It contributed to his defeat in the 2019 GE but the British media has shown almost no interest in the Forde Report"
Martin Forde: "I think I was approached by one [media outlet] on the day of publication but they candidly accepted that they hadn't actually read the report, and I suggested they might want to do that first, and they didn't come back to me!"
This latest edition of the #LabourFiles on the #FordeReport gives important context (authoritative - straight from the horses mouth) and adds to the undeniable conclusion about the "Labour antisemitism crisis":
#ItWasAScam
There will of course be a near-total media blackout on this, especially from the BBC and the Guardian

Below are excerpts from (ex adviser to @johnmcdonnellMP) @JoeRRyle's blog with some of his submissions to the #FordeReport.
As with the #LabourLeaks report, it's hard to reconcile its contents with the media's characterisation of events

From the off Corbyn had suspicions [about how helpful party officials would be] but the extent of the plots against him went beyond anything that could be expected

* Only ancient computers prone to crashing left, some without screens
* Offices not properly set up

After the Labour leaks report, it was tempting to think the centrists' game was up - the cat was out of the bag, their lies and viciousness had finally been exposed. But they have the media and the establishment on their side - truth counts for little

We need to keep reminding ourselves what happened. They knew it was all lies but if the media repeated them constantly, they would become the truth

BBC Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis retweeted a thread that all but described Corbyn as a Nazi:

"Goodbye Jeremy Corbyn. They said you don’t have an antisemitic bone in your body. That may be true, but your brain is full of it...[etc.]"

From The Telegraph 12 May

A Covid cardiologist at a top London hospital (friendly to Boris) has been so incensed by the daily charade of bogus omniscience that he vented his spleen in an email to me on Sunday night. It is a poignant indictment, so I pass along a few snippets

Basically, every mistake that could have been made, was made. He likened the care home policy to the Siege of Caffa in 1346, that grim chapter of the Black Death when a Mongol army catapulted plague-ridden bodies over the walls.

“Our policy was to let the virus rip and then ‘cocoon the elderly’,” he wrote. “You don’t know whether to laugh or cry when you contrast that with what we actually did. We discharged known, suspected, and unknown cases into care homes which were unprepared, with no...
