Shami Chakrobati now Shadow Attorney General in Corbyn reshuffle

Ana look at the anti-semetic incidents in the 27 racial link. Shouldn't they have been properly looked at and shouldn't Pickles at least have known about the UCL incident? Or doesn't it matter because it's the Conservative Party?
POGS Ummuna and Winnick are both members of Progress and have spoken out against Corbyn. Naz Shah isn't a signatory because she was a witness. A Lib Dem or a Green party MP might have added some political balance to this committee. Even if you accept that these MPs have tried to be unbiased when producing this report in not commenting on the Conservatives they have provided a basis for criticism. Justice must not only be done it must be seen to be done.

To my knowledge Berger has never been mentioned on this thread , perhaps I missed some posts, poor Ruth Smeeth has received thousands of vile mails, suppose being bullied by a Corbyn supporter at the release of the anti Semitic enquiry results and shown on the news plus Corbyn shown laughing with the bully following the incident could have encouraged Corbyn devotees to act

Of what relevance is that link to this thread?

Attacks on Jewish MPs?

There are no links to Labour members attacking Berger.

"Have you looked at the composition of the Committee? It has 6 Conservative members, 3 Labour and 1 SNP, no Greens, no Liberals, no UKIP. So it is not in effect an All Party committee."

The Vacant position was Labour MP Keith Vaz who resigned for obvious reasons.

As for The Greens, their 1 MP Caroline Lucas sits on The Environmental Audit Select Committee. The SNP have representation on many Select Committees. The Lib Dems have only 8 MP's yet there are 4 Select Committees with Lib Dem MP's serving. The 1 UKIP MP as far as I know has no representation on any Select Committee.(mind you with PR they probably would).

If you feel the Select Committee is not represented by the parties you mentioned do you honestly expect The Greens, UKIP, The SNP MP's should sit on 'every' Select Committee or the findings and eventual reports are what in your mind Bias, Unworthy, Disreputable ?

Ridiculous.

(My reply was to trisher)

It was proper that Corbyn attended, as it was his party the allegations were primarily about.

'The failure of the Labour Party to deal consistently and effectively with antisemitic incidents in recent years risks lending force to allegations that elements of the Labour movement are institutionally antisemitic.'

From the report.
Obviously talking about before Corbyn was leader. So why is Miliband not criticised, or Brown or even, dare I say it, Blair?

But he wasn't invited May was. If Corbyn had sent someone else would that have been OK?

I agree and I think the report would have much more value and would be much more easily accepted if they had actually said this. I have no objection to them criticising Corbyn,but I do think there should be some reference to May and the Conservative party and Pickle's ignorance about the UCL incident. It is about balance.

I Posted before reading your last post trisher, Pickles was the correct person to speak for his party, special envoy for post holocaust issues , who better

I don't deliberately mis- read , just as I don't avoid questions . She should have attended , she could have taken a legal adviser with her as Corbyn did

Well, that seems fair enough.

To be exact
We later invited the new Prime Minister on several occasions to give evidence to us in October, but received no formal response until the morning of the scheduled evidence session, when Sir Eric Pickles MP, the UK Special Envoy for Post-Holocaust Issues and former Party Chairman, was nominated to attend as a representative of the Conservative Party.

May was asked after she became leader- are you deliberately mis-reading or do I need to post every tiny detail? She didn't respond to the invitations-not even "I'd love to come but I am so busy"

So May wasn't leader? Why ask the home secretary ?

Cameron was asked but was in the process of retiring, May was asked several times and did not respond. On the morning she was timetabled to appear Pickles turned up instead (without any notification)

Did the Tory party have a leader at that time ?

The attacks on Jewish MP's are most certainly racist

It is interesting that the committee did not make any criticism of the Conservative party for failing to send a leader of the party and for the fact that Eric Pickles was unaware of the anti-semetic incident at UCL, but posted this link in the evidence

By the way we must be careful now not to confuse racism and anti-semitism or so I am told.

At times I wonder if he is either not confrontational or very crafty , he just doesn't come across as the honest man I once thought him to be. Why doesn't he break with momentum, he has the leadership , why not stand on his own feet

And he is most certainly in denial that there is any problem at all!

Two out if ten, no,problem with that trisher, you seem to . I think the committee were right, Corbyn is not a racist but I believe him to weak to sort out the racists.

You tell me. If the 2 MPs had been members of Momentum and Corbyn had been completely exonerated would you have agreed with it?

So cross party not all party, so was he correct trisher ?
