Corbyn 'anti-semitic' report pulped

 

An internal 860 page Labour Party report into the way the Party handled antisemitism complaints found "no evidence" of current or former staff being "motivated by antisemitic intent".  It concluded that hostility towards Jeremy Corbyn amongst former senior Party officials contributed to "a litany of mistakes". It found "abundant evidence of a hyper-factional atmosphere prevailing in Party HQ" towards Mr Corbyn. 

 

Singled out at the centre of the false accusations of ‘anti-semitism’ are the former General Secretary, Iain McNicol, and the former acting head of the party’s legal unit, Sam Matthews. 

 

The report claims private communications show senior staff , "openly worked against the aims and objectives of the leadership of the Party, and in the 2017 general election some key staff appeared to work against the Party's core objective of winning elections".

 

Examples include:

• Senior staff preparing for Tom Watson to become interim leader in anticipation of Mr Corbyn losing the election, hiding information from the leader's office, talking about the need to hide their disappointment that Mr Corbyn had done better than expected in 2017, discussing how to prevent Corbyn ally Rebecca Long-Bailey gaining a seat on the party's governing body in 2017, referring to Corbyn-supporting staff as "Trots", referring to former director of communications Seamus Milne as "Dracula", and saying he was "spiteful and evil and we should make sure he is never allowed in our Party if it's last thing we do", referring to Mr Corbyn's former chief of staff Karie Murphy as "Medusa", a "crazy woman" and a "bitch face cow" that would "make a good dartboard", expressing their "hope" that a young pro-Corbyn Labour activist, who they knew had mental health problems, "dies in a fire".

   

Now under the leadership of Keir Starmer, The Labour Party have decided that the report, completed prior to his appointment as leader, will not be submitted to the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

Film director Ken Loach said the report was 'dynamite'. “If the evidence – all the emails and the secretive, abusive messages – is accurate, there has to be a reckoning, there must be consequences for this behaviour."

Meanwhile Iain McNicol sits in the House of Lords as Lord McNicol of West Kilbride.

 

Now read this from Novara Media 

 

and this from Another Angry Voice ....

"The more you read of the leaked report into the way a bunch of abusive and entitled right-wingers in key positions sabotaged the Labour Party, the angrier you get.

Under former General Secretary Ian McNicol the disciplinary team deliberately ignored antisemitism issues, creating a huge backlog of cases, which were then blamed on Jeremy Corbyn by the very people who created the backlog.

McNicol got a peerage as a reward for this sabotage.

They endlessly used misogynistic and racist language to talk about female and black Labour MPs. They also regularly used mental health slurs to attack Corbyn allies within the Labour Party "total mentalist", "nutter" and ordinary Labour Party members "nutters" and "nut jobs".

These right-wingers continually referred to ordinary Labour Party members as "trots", they described the popular policy of rail renationalisation as "trots doing what trots do", and they repeatedly intervened to prevent genuine socialists from becoming Labour parliamentary candidates.

During the 2015 leadership election they orchestrated a mass purge of Labour Party members which they described as "trot hunting", "trot bashing", and "trot spotting". They admitted that what they were doing was social media "stalking", and expressed concerns about how they would be perceived if anyone trawled through their social media posts in the way they were doing to others.

When someone set up a "Stop the Labour Purge" Facebook page in response to this, one of them called Dan Hogan fantasised about “getting even by just purging everyone who shared it”.

When Corbyn won the leadership election they discussed how much they hated Jeremy Corbyn and fantasised about someone showing too much support for Jeremy Corbyn "being shot".

They also fantasised about the Labour MPs who nominated Corbyn during the original 2015 leadership election getting "taken out and shot".

Ali Mousavvi and a press officer called Sarah Brown discussed "hanging and burning" Jeremy Corbyn.

They also discussed how they would like a young Labour Party activist to "die in a fire".

They plotted how they could deliberately disrupt the Labour leadership, with one of them proposing "doing a work to rule thing", another talking about "coming into the office and doing nothing for months", and another admitting that their internal sabotage plan was "gonna be brutal and take forever".

Within weeks of Cotbyn becoming leader they were already plotting the "Anyone But Corbyn" coup they eventually launched after the Brexit result came in.

When Corbyn refused to resign and Owen Smith was put forward as the Anyone But Corbyn candidate, they ridiculed and insulted him too.

Emilie Oldknow, Executive Director of Governance, Membership and Party Services discussed how she would rig the selection process for the Manchester Gorton by-election in 2017 by ensuring her allies had a majority on the selection panel.

They admitted using Tom Watson to leak confidential Labour Party documentation to the press.

During the 2017 General Election they devised a plan to deliberately lose the election in order to make Tom Watson Labour leader by default, which McNicol codenamed "Operation Cupcake".

During the election campaign they did another go slow, chatting amongst themselves about how they were simply pretending to do any work.

They spread anti-Islamic conspiracy theories in the wake of the two terrorist attacks during the 2017 election campaign.

Ian McNicol compared the Labour policy of free school meals to "forced castration"!

When it became clear that their campaign of internal sabotage had failed and Labour had actually gained a load of seats in 2017, and removed Theresa May's majority, these people were absolutely horrified.

There's literally hundreds of pages of this stuff.

The three things that come through the most are the burning contempt these people have towards ordinary Labour Party members, their continual plotting against the Labour leadership and their deliberate internal wrecking in order to keep Labour out of power, and the fact that they were the ones responsible for creating the massive backlog of antisemitism cases that they then used to attack Corbyn for.

Given that Corbyn's leadership was continually under attack from within his own party, it's absolutely incredible that Labour got within a few thousand votes of forming the government in 2017."
