Britain's Labour Party Suspends Jeremy Corbyn after Anti-Semitism Report
(Daily Mail-UK) David Wilcock - Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was suspended by the party on Thursday after he downplayed a damning report into anti-Semitism that ruled that the party illegally harassed and discriminated against Jews under his leadership. The 130-page report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission found "significant failings in the way the Labour Party has handled anti-Semitism complaints over the last four years." Corbyn sparked fury by saying the scale of the problem was "dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents." New leader Sir Keir Starmer responded that if "there are still those who think there's no problem with anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, that it's all exaggerated, or a factional attack, then, frankly, you are part of the problem too. And you should be nowhere near the Labour Party either."
