| Document:Labour Party exclusions: we need justice for the many not just for the few | Article | 2 March 2018 | David Rosenberg | The Labour Party's departing General Secretary Iain McNicol has done everything possible to delay or prevent the implementation of the Chakrabarti Inquiry Report which needs to be the central focus of our campaigning right now, if we are going to win justice for the many suspended and excluded by Labour, not just for the few. |
| Document:The shortcomings of the EHRC Report | Statement | 6 November 2020 | Jewish Voice for Labour | There are just 12 mentions of Jeremy Corbyn in the EHRC report, of which only two concern actions taken by him. It is reprehensible not to distinguish between actions taken by individuals supportive of Corbyn and those taken by people hostile to him – such an omission leads to the impression that all failings were Corbyn’s responsibility. |
