IN Liverpool Riverside we learnt earlier than others about the duplicitous role played by some Labour officials in our own party.
From our own experiences, the hopes that party officials, in particular some of those described as “whistleblowers” in the recent BBC Panorama documentary about anti-semitism in the Labour Party, were independent, impartial or even fair were dashed within a year of our becoming members.
The Panorama programme revealed what many of us in Liverpool had already been exposed to, that sadly many of the most vocal proponents of Labour’s “anti-semitism problem” are politically motivated opponents of Jeremy Corbyn and his movement — with no real belief in fair process or accuracy.
