In 2020, Keir Starmer appointed Martin Forde QC, to investigate the leaked Labour report. The #FordeReport revealed an alarming hierarchy of racism within the party, yet Labour have shamefully chosen to ignore his significant findings.

Despite commissioning one of Britain's leading Black QCs, his damning report was studiously swept under the carpet as Labour have been silent on this ever since.

The report also challenged the narrative of the BBC Panorama programme on Labour and antisemitism,...

...which Forde described as "entirely misleading".

Karen Whightman, the editor of Panorama, and John Ware, who made the documentary, both wrote to Forde pressuring him to change his report.

The tone of one particular email from Ware was more akin to a letter before legal action. Yet Ware has not taken any action, which speaks volumes of Forde's credibility. Especially as Ware is understood be very litigious usually.

Al Jazeera's courageous decision to publish the Labour files is particularly noteworthy in light of all other [especially] the British media outlets stonewalling both Forde and his report.

As a highly respected figure, it is concerning that the media would refuse to consider his words, instead opting to print the unverified claims of those with no proof. This deplorable situation is far from acceptable and speaks volumes about the current state of our press.

The hierarchy of racism within Labour is totally indefensible and looking the other way is tantamount to enabling it and reinforcing the status quo.

We must not remain silent in the face of injustice - silence is violence!
