Opposition groups within the Labour Party treated antisemitism as a 'factional weapon' and there was an 'intellectual smugness' that dismissed the problem, a long-awaited report has found
Mr Corbyn's allies used the document to claim parts of theBut the 138-page Forde Report, published on Tuesday afternoon, said:"The evidence clearly demonstrated that a vociferous faction in the party sees any issues regarding antisemitism as exaggerated by the right to embarrass the left."It was of course also true that some opponents of Jeremy Corbyn saw the issue of antisemitism as a means of attacking him.
"For example, there was a complete lack of any auditable database of cases, which meant the party could not, at any given moment, collate accurate information on the number of complaints which were then pending, or which had been disposed of, and the stage that the live matters had reached," it said.
"The report offers neither explanations nor remedies. Until we see our complaints addressed, we are unable to have confidence in the party's leaders and processes, let alone its culture," it added. "There is a culture of intellectual smugness which exists at the extremes of the political spectrum the party represents," it said.
