Ehrc Quotes

“The party rule book is the apex law of the Labour Party. It forms the binding contract between the party and its members. Everything the party does and is empowered to do, flows from the rule book. The party rule book provides explicit and detailed rules for handling disciplinary cases and puts them in a separate chapter dedicated to this topic.

But at no stage is this chapter - Chapter Six - of the party rule book on 'Disciplinary Rules' mentioned or referenced by the EHRC. This is astonishing. The EHRC's investigation was, at heart, an investigation of how the party applied its disciplinary rules to the handling of antisemitism complaints, and yet the EHRC made no reference to the foundational text that established what those rules were. Not only that, it then misconstrued the party's rules in order to ground a finding of unlawful discrimination.”

“...the EHRC's findings and recommendations triggered a process that has deeply politicised how complaints in the party are handled, a politicisation that found its ultimate expression in the mistreatment of left-wing Jews under the guise of fighting antisemitism.”
