New Labour, Old Racism Archived Message Posted by johnhol on December 14, 2020, 10:50 pm Begins: "Over the last five years, charges of antisemitism have been laid against Labour Party members and the former leader Jeremy Corbyn himself, with the recent storm around the release of the EHRC report on antisemitism reviving a discussion about racism in the Labour Party. After Corbyn’s suspension for stating the truth that the scale of antisemitism in Labour had been “dramatically overstated for political reasons”, he was suspended from the party. On his readmission, Labour leader Keir Starmer withdrew the Labour whip from his predecessor without giving any concrete reason for the move. There is little ambiguity in Starmer’s reasoning. The new leadership of the Labour Party are not interested in appeals to unity against the Tories (who they are barely opposing in any case). Rather, Starmer’s first task is to bring the Labour left to heel in order to rehabilitate the party and allow it to once again fulfil its role as the second party of British capitalism."
