An internal inquiry finds the party's left and right both used anti-Semitism as a 'factional weapon'.
Labour's left and right wings both treated the issue of anti-Semitism as a "factional weapon" when Jeremy Corbyn was leader, a report says.
The dossier found "no evidence" of anti-Semitism being handled differently from other complaints and blamed "factional opposition" towards Mr Corbyn.says factionalism was "endemic" within Labour and the issue of anti-Semitism was weaponised by both sides, not just the party's right. "Thus, rather than confront the paramount need to deal with the profoundly serious issue of anti-Semitism in the party, both factions treated it as a factional weapon."The report also says Labour's disciplinary process was "not fit for purpose" and "potentially prone to factional interference".
Responding to the findings, a Labour spokesperson said: "The Forde report details a party that was out of control. "In any party there are groups and factions, but the resistance we were faced with went far beyond that," he added."Are we a democratic socialist party, run by members and affiliated unions, that aims for a fundamental transfer of wealth and power from the few to the many?" he asked. "Or are we something else?"
