Antisemitism in the UK
Rather than publishing the HASC's report entitled "Antisemitism in the UK" in the House of Commons, acting Chair Tim Loughton decided to appear on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show on Sunday 16 October 2016 and explain the report's main findings which were critical of the Labour Party.[3] An article published by the Free Speech on Israel group on 20 August 2016 described the report as "ill-conceived, politically tendentious and risible".[4]
