Forde is the sixth "Labour anti-Semitism" report, yet still gives no evidence of a unique problem

My contribution to an LLA panel debate last night.

Last night the Labour Left Alliance hosted a wide-ranging webinar to debate the Forde Report which came out this week. Watch it in the video above.

I gave my initial take on the latest report on “Labour anti-Semitism” — which yet again gives no evidence that Labour had any kind of uniquely bad problem. Yet as I detail in the video, this is by my count the sixth “Labour anti-Semitism” report! Where is the evidence?

My 18-minute contribution in discussion with Tina Werkmann is right at the start of the video. I also contributed to the Q&A at 01:31:40. It’s well worth watching the whole debate.

My full analysis of the Forde Report is in the works and will be published by The Electronic Intifada next week.

My Substack has been quite quiet In July. That’s partly due to the summer holidays, but mostly due to a long term project I’ve been finalising. If that seems enigmatic, don’t worry: all will be revealed soon.
