Thank you for reminding me of your support for the far left Left Unity ,how did I forget that.
As for 'leaked reports' I wonder why too , perhaps the Labour Party and the NEC thought it was not of interest to go public or hoped to keep it's findings quiet, Who Knows! However I do find it disingenuous whether it be a Report/Inquiry/Investigation some people choose to believe in one but another, depends if it suits their own remit I suppose.

"Angela Eagle was subject to homophobic abuse, intimidation, and it was “very likely” a window of her local office was smashed in relation to her leadership challenge against Jeremy Corbyn, a probe by the Labour Party has confirmed.
The findings of the confidential inquiry, seen by The Independent, claim that Ms Eagle’s constituency office in the Liscard area of Wallasey, Merseyside, was vandalised and that the atmosphere of her constituency Labour party (CLP) became “toxic and divided in the extreme”.
At the time of the brick incident 'SOME SUPPORTERS DISMISSED' the suggestion that the former shadow Business Secretary was the target, while others claimed allegations of homophobia were “completely untrue”. One individual even went to the length of creating a “short investigation” into the “apparent” smashing and added Ms Eagle had attempted to “gain as much political advantage as possible” over the incident.
The report, however, which draws on 100 anonymous witness statements, dismisses these suggestions and adds that allegations will now be passed on to the disputes panel regarding individual disciplinary action.
The report adds: “It is highly likely that the brick thrown through the window of Angela Eagle’s office was related to her leadership challenge. The position of the window made it very unlikely that this was a random passer-by. The window was directly between two Labour offices. ' UNTRUE RUMOURS' were subsequently spread that the building was occupied by many companies and the window was in ' an unrelated stairwell'.
“This was based on a Companies House search which found that the landlord had a number of companies registered there; in fact, the only other occupant is the landlord on the upper floor. Once this incorrect rumour was spread, members repeated it as clear evidence Angela Eagle was lying. This is 'CATEGORICALLY UNTRUE'.
“The office of Angela Eagle has endured a significant amount of abuse, including abusive and intimidating phone calls. Staff members were eventually forced to unplug the phone. The investigation has received many hundreds of abusive, homophobic and frightening messages that have been sent by Labour members to Angel Eagle. Where appropriate, members have been administratively suspended pending investigation.”
