This is 1 of 2 complaints in the past 2 days alone where details have come into the public domain and @UKLabour appears to change its mind about whether they are in fact instances of antisemitism which warrant action.

THREAD >> I was really looking forward to the Government’s much anticipated Green Paper on young people’s mental health.
