I despaired of McDonnell a few months ago during a Sky interview when he said the party should "root out" anti-semitism -- thereby admitting Labour DID have a problem because you can only "root out" something that is there to begin with. He should have objected loud and strong and said that this whole fiasco has been drummed up to smear Corbyn and the party. Stupidly he didn't and thus played into the hands of the Zionists.
He urges Campbell to reapply to join the party, yet remains silent over Chris Williamson, Jackie Walker and the other REAL socialists who have been betrayed by Corbyn and the Labour party.
He says Blair is not a war criminal (thereby excusing Campbell)
