The work of the Labour Party's Governance and Legal Unit in relation to antisemitism 2014–2019, is a report written by party staff in response to the Equality and Human Rights Commission's investigation into the party's handling of antisemitism complaints and includes claims of other forms of racism. The report reveals emails of senior party management staff, aligned with the right of the party, and highlights obstruction of justice in dealing with clear evidence of racism and bullying. And, while it might not fully clear the party of accusations of being 'antisemitic', the report does indicate that anti-semitism is not a major problem with in the Labour Party,[1] its main assertion is that rampant factionalism/right wing bullying within the party had ultimately led to claims of antisemitism and racism allegations not being dealt with properly.[2][3][4]
The Report was first highlighted by Tom Rayner, political correspondent at Sky News, on Twitter on 11 April 2020,[5] then on Sky News itself a day later. He reported that Labour's lawyers had 'advised' against submitting the report to the commission'.[6] The news of this Report had many Labour supporters calling for its full publication. Keir Starmer, Leader of the Labour Party, and Angela Rayner, Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, announced an investigation into the report the following day.[7]
