I am currently working my way through the report and I'm not sure that it comes down specifically on one 'side' or another.

What is disturbing me more than the factionalism is the evidence of racism, prejudice and bullying on both 'sides'.

Forde Report here if anyone wants to read it for themselves rather than believe a possibly biased interpretation:

I don’t know, and as it will most likely be a good while before I get the opportunity to vote in a general election, I have a dream: that in that meantime, all politicians quit social media entirely and hand over their mobile phones at the entrance to the commons - ( like the children at school had to do with chewing/bubble gum, annoying/distracting toys etc) and concentrate fully on the real issues in the real world.

As the report is published and it identifies factions in the LP headquarters which worked against Corbyn. Says that the election result was not influenced, although money which could have supported marginal seats where the MP was a Corbyn supporter went elsewhere. What happens now? Can the party members who voted for Corbyn ever trust Labour HQ again?
