A few hours later, Labour said that it had suspended Mr. Corbyn over those comments and had begun an investigation. The articles also includes claims Mr Mandela was advised the group had hindered the campaign to abolish South Africa's racist laws. The dispute was set off by the release on Thursday of a long-awaited report by a British human rights watchdog about anti-Semitism within Labour. In 2019, the agency began investigating accusations that Labour dithered in its response to anti-Semitism allegations and interfered on behalf of Mr. Corbyn’s political allies. The suspension had few precedents in the history of British politics. Only a little more than 10 months after an election in which Labour fought to make Mr. Corbyn prime minister, and just over six months since he stepped down as leader, Mr. Corbyn was no longer a Labour lawmaker.

For Mr. Starmer, a former prosecutor and human rights lawyer, rooting out anti-Semitism and repairing ties with British Jews has been a defining goal of his leadership. In 2016, the Islington North MP cancelled his appearance at the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset following the Brexit vote and questions about his leadership.

However the persistent and unhealthy campaign based on clearly unsubstantiated claims means that Mrs Riley’s position working for your organisation is now untenable.” The Nike Swoosh Corbyn t-shirts and a selection of others bearing his name can be bought from a number of online outlets. Today not only his is party five points ahead in the opinion polls, Corbyn himself is now hugely popular. The fight exposed deep disagreements on the British left over what was fair criticism of Israel and what made use of anti-Semitic prejudices. And it has highlighted how certain strains of anticapitalism, a position embraced by Mr. Corbyn, have historically risked casting Jews as a class of rich conspirators oppressing working people. Riley tweeted: "The ease at which large swathes of people can be mobilised into group hate, for highlighting Corbyn's history of racism using an image of his arrest as part of an extreme group cited as damaging the mainstream anti-apartheid movement, is just one reason Jewish people are worried.

Hunt, the director of the V&A, said: “As the nation’s storehouse for contemporary design and fashion, we are delighted to acquire the Corbyn T-shirt. It is also a rather strong statement of our belief in curatorial autonomy.”

Generally I find that if Katie Hopkins supports an action that said action is bad. So, uh, hope Rachel Riley enjoys that endorsement. I. Can. Friggin. NOT. It’s not just any old message you’re erasing. It was a friggin struggle against severe and brutal legalised racism.’ I found this report hard to read, and it is a day of shame for the Labour Party,” he said on Thursday, standing behind a lectern bearing the slogan “A New Leadership” — an unsubtle signal of his effort to transform the party. “We have failed the Jewish people, our members, our supporters and the British public.” The remainers think Labour will haemorrhage votes to the Lib Dems and the Greens at the general election under the Corbyn policy that will now remain unchallenged until the election. The Corbynites think turning Labour into a remain-only party would be even more disastrous. There is no way of knowing which analysis is more correct. And a huge amount will depend on what has happened to Brexit by the time the election actually happens. It is quite possible that both arguments are right. But Mr. Corbyn’s own response to the watchdog report was more equivocal, mirroring statements he gave for years as party leader that Jewish Labour members saw as trying to make excuses for insufficient action against anti-Semitism.
