Corbynites react to the EHRC report

The Equality and Human Rights Commission released its report today on antisemitism in the Labour party – and it did not make pretty reading.

The report claims that the Labour party was responsible for three breaches of the law in its handling of anti-Semitism complaints after alleged ‘political interference’ in the process. It also found that Labour’s policies were ‘indirectly discriminatory and unlawful’ and this led, the report says, to:

‘A culture within the Party which, at best, did not do enough to prevent antisemitism and, at worst, could be seen to accept it.’

Pretty damning stuff, you might think. But it appears that many Corbynites don’t agree with all the report’s conclusions. Here are a selection of their reactions below:

Corbyn outrider and Labour activist Rachael Swindon wasted no time in looking for silver linings in the report. The upside the Corbynite found, was that the EHRC report did not say that Labour was ‘institutionally anti-Semitic’.
