This is genuine solidarity.
I’d heard rumours that Gordon Brown was releasing a video.
No one asked him to stand up to antisemitism and to stand by @JewishLabour
He just did.

- This is a lie There are at least 130 outstanding antisemitism cases, some dating back years, that still haven’t been dealt with. The Party haven’t bothered to investigate the cases properly or make decisions. This is the tip of the iceberg /1 #ITVLeadersDebate #LeadersDebate
00:00 - Saka is Ealing’s own, we are proud of him, he is one of our heroes. I want him to have the Freedom of our Borough, his home. Let no one ever say it isn’t.Peter Mason, leader of Ealing Council is nominating England and Arsenal star Bukayo Saka for the Freedom of the Borough. ealing.gov.uk/news/article/2…
GIF - Thread: Len McCluskey hasn’t offered “continued dialogue” with @JewishLabour and certainly hasn’t supported us. When it was clear his mind was closed and agenda fixed, we figured there was little point trying to explain anti-Jewish racism to a “lifelong anti-racist” #Marr
- Replying to @_petermasonCorbyn and Labour’s total failure to deal with antisemites has seen it be investigated by the EHRC for institutional anti-Jewish racism. They don’t launch major investigations without cause, and the investigation continues through the election /2
- Replying to @_petermasonAnd all for what? How has this festering anti-Jewish racism, the inaction, the lies & the cover ups, ever helped the Party in any way? This is a disgraceful episode in the long and proud history of the Labour Party. He should be ashamed of himself. /ends
- Ok conference. Someone is surreptitiously talking pictures of me whilst I sit in the hall listening to the debate. Thanks a billion. Feeling massively safe now. #Lab18
- I have been passed a copy of the "report". It contains incredibly sensitive personal information relating to complaints, victims and major safeguarding issues. If the central allegation of the document is factionalism, its leaking is a very serious event...
- Replying to @_petermasonThe Party will probably now try and remove me for ‘breaking the confidence’ of the NCC. But a candidate for Prime Minister doesn’t get to lie on national television and get away with it. So many whistleblowers have already come forward to call this out for what it is /6
- Within seconds of us sending our legal letter to the Labour Party NEC, it seems one of them has already passed it to a factional blogger. See our statement here: x.com/jewishlabour/s…New: I’ve seen a letter from @JewishLabour to Labour’s NEC. Despite evidence in leaked report of anti-semitism not being dealt with as expeditiously as it should have been, & culture at the top of party which didnt take anti-racism seriously, focus is entirely on data breach.
- Replying to @_petermasonToday @JewishLabour submitted its final submission. The culmination of 18 months work with @Mishcon_de_Reya, documenting thousands of pages of evidence and argument. Over 70 witnesses, including activists, officers, staff and politicians have given sworn testimony /3
- Replying to @_petermasonThe 130 cases are just those before the NCC. We have submitted details to the EHRC of thousands of cases left unresolved. Cases where grossly antisemitic behaviour was excused, and details of the worst political manipulation of a system by those running the Party /7
- The absolute state of this. Labour Party use Carter Ruck to threaten whistleblowers in order to try and cover up institutional racism. I’m sure front benchers will be lining up to condemn this just like they do when banks, biz and the NHS enforce NDAs? Hypocrites in the extremeEXCLUSIVE: Labour has launched a crackdown on whistleblowers ahead of bombshell BBC Panorama doc on antisemitism. Carter Ruck, their lawyers, have written to Sam Matthews, ex head of investigations, saying the party "will not tolerate" ex employees "wantonly disregarding" NDAs
- Replying to @_petermasonEach of them desperately worried about the turn the party has taken to foster and embed a rancid and abusive, victim blaming culture, one which is then denied, obfuscated and diminished by the leadership, and who want to put the situation right /4
