BOD once again presuming to speak for the entire Jewish community: 'The Board of Deputies commented: “The Jewish community does not accept this pathetic non-apology from Jeremy Corbyn. Keir Starmer rightly called the day of the release of the EHRC report a ‘day of shame’. “Jeremy Corbyn’s response, by contrast, was shameless. “Keir Starmer said, ‘Those who deny there is a problem are part of the problem. Those who pretend it is exaggerated or factional are part of the problem’. Yet Jeremy Corbyn questioned the findings of the report which showed that, under his watch, the party had acted unlawfully in respect of its treatment of Jews. “If the Party wants to show it is serious about tackling anti-Jewish racism, it will consign this statement, just like the culture which led to the EHRC’s damning findings, to the dustbin of history. To do otherwise would be a failure of leadership which would risk the party slipping backwards.”' - https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/corbyn-attempts-to-clarify-comments-that-prompted-suspension-from-party-1.508728 He'll be subjected to the ritual humiliation of a 'formal disciplinary process': 'The decision to suspend Corbyn was taken by the party’s general secretary, David Evans, rather than Starmer. The party has stressed that Corbyn must go through the formal disciplinary process, given that political interference in cases was one of the key criticisms in the EHRC report.' - https://dumptheguardian.com/politics/2020/nov/17/jeremy-corbyn-labour-antisemitism-concerns-were-not-exaggerated 'Rules brought in under Mr Corbyn mean NEC panels - made up of five members, advised by a barrister - look specifically at anti-Semitism cases on a monthly basis. The can decide to either: Take no further action Issue a reminder of values - which is a less formal sanction Issue a reminder of conduct - which is closer to a formal warning Rule for a time-limited suspension Rule for an expulsion The panel can also refer any cases to the National Constitutional Committee, which is an elected body in the Labour Party that hears and decides on complaints.

Owen Jones is impressed: 'Owen Jones @OwenJones84 Really important statement from Jeremy Corbyn, which must now lead to his suspension being lifted, Labour uniting around implementing the EHRC recommendations, and everyone moving on to address our national calamity.' - https://twitter.com/OwenJones84/status/1328639043119222784 What a farce...
