Open letter on the investigation into Labour’s leaked report
Dear Dr Martin Forde QC,
We are writing to you as the chair of the investigation into the recently leaked report “The Work Of The Labour Party’s Governance And Legal Unit In Relation To Antisemitism, 2014-2019”.
It is hard to overestimate the disappointment and anger felt by party activists at the content of this report.
In part, this relates to the insulting and apparently discriminatory language allegedly used by party officials. But the problem is deeper than the use of language.
We devoted many hours working for Labour electoral victory. We did not want to believe the rumours some of us heard that there were people within the party more focussed on undermining Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, even going so far as to undermine the party’s response to allegations of antisemitism. Yet, taken at face value, that is what the evidence in the leaked report appears to suggest.
Keir Starmer and Angela Raynor correctly responded to the leaked report by saying: “We will, therefore, commission an urgent independent investigation into this matter. This investigation will be instructed to look at (inter alia) …the contents and wider culture and practices referred to in the report.”
Since then, serious concerns have been raised around the true independence of the inquiry and the discretion built into the Terms of Reference which might allow the panel to selectively determine those parts of the leaked report it wishes to investigate.
As painful as it may be, we do not believe our party will heal unless the review is full and transparent.
We therefore seek the following assurances:
1. That the inquiry will give full consideration to the truth or otherwise of ALL the allegations in the report.
2. That this will include the extent of racist, sexist and other discriminatory culture within Labour Party workplaces including the attitudes and conduct of ALL those people mentioned in the report, but shall not be restricted to such matters.
3. That the inquiry will investigate the relationships and communications between ALL those staff members mentioned in the report, and ALL senior members of Labour Party (including MPs, Labour Peers and their respective offices, campaign coordinators and advisors) – not merely “their relationships with the elected leadership of the Labour Party“ (i.e. Mr Corbyn). We regard this as vital to establishing (inter alia) how far any “rot” extended (and in particular whether the alleged behaviours were coordinated with others within the party who may still be in post).
4. That the key questions the inquiry will consider will include the following:
• Were the events accurately described and did they in fact undermine the fight on antisemitism and/or have the effect of misleading the public and/or the leadership regarding the success of the disciplinary process?
• Is there evidence of an intention to sabotage our democratic party and institutions, and is there evidence of an intention to subvert the Labour election race(s) and the leadership’s chosen campaign?
• Did the alleged conduct (including inter alia the alleged reallocation of Labour Party funds) occur, if so does that provide prima facie evidence a possible criminal act or an act of gross misconduct, and if so will the inquiry call on the Labour Party to action appropriately by forwarding materials to relevant enforcement body?
• Does the evidence point to a broader systematic campaign to undermine the elected leader of the party and if so who was implicated?
• Is there any evidence to support any allegation of: (a) antisemitic behaviour by Mr Corbyn, his office and advisors, or any other shadow cabinet member; or (b) any desire by any of the foregoing to cover up antisemitic behaviour, or to suppress or interfere with the actions of the disciplinary team in investigating such behaviour?
5. That the inquiry report will be published in full to the extent that is legally possible.
6. That the powers of the inquiry to compel testimony and other evidence will be published in full, together with copies of all such evidence accumulated by the inquiry to the extent that is legally possible.
7. That the inquiry will confirm the extent to which they are constrained in their activities by noncooperation, budgetary or regulatory limitations, and publish the names of all persons providing advice and investigatory support to the inquiry.
We took comfort from the promise of a truly independent investigation. The investigation promised a broad and transparent examination of what has happened within our party and a chance to break the rumours and for “truth and reconciliation” to take place, resetting the party under its new leader. We believe this is vital to the future of the Labour Party.

Thank you for writing this open letter. I am deep sorry to the Jewish community for the racism you have had to endure and the Labour Party GLU did not process complaints ethically and without prejudice. I wish you all Solidarity and heartfelt best wishes. Alana
“Were the events accurately described and did they in fact undermine the fight on [sic] antisemitism”
What does this mean? If it means the fight as to whether there is rampant antisemitism in Labour or not then fine, but I suspect it means sadly that there is a genuine ‘fight’ against antisemitism when there is obviously no need for such a battle.
Do It Properly! That’s all I ask.
Chair, East Yorkshire CLP

What an disfunctional organisational mess at “Head Office” is revealed by the leaked report! Where was the communication, the oversight by the General Secretary, or, the NEC on behalf of the the members? The financial controls, for God’s sake – Senior Managers deciding where to direct party resources and finances to influence the GE 2017 outcome? And all in the name of a Party which claims it wants to change the world !
The contents of the letter meet with my full agreement, and until these matters are comprehensively and rigorously investigated, and where necessary appropriate actions ensue, the Party will not be fit for potential government.
We must have full transparency. It’s the least we deserve

Labour must conduct a full investigation and reinstate wrongly expelled members.
This needs to be investigated properly with the view to find out who else in the labour party was involved and if so expelled right away The party has let the members down with the loss of good labour MPs and members getting expelled for what was no more than false accusations against them and I say false because were was the proof
Also what happened to those BAME Members was disgracefulland if found to be true was racist And there should be no place in any political Party for any forms of racism no matter what and needs to be eradicated as soon as possible if found to be true .And anyone who was found to be involved should face charges .especially if by their actions it prevented the real investigations into antisemitism and other forms of racism being carried out or delayed the outcome of that investigation
I think we all know and will not stand for an investigation that is not correctly investigated in order to protect certain people who could be involved due to the outcome of the investigation.Because if this happened it would discredit the labour party even more than how people are feeling right now about it.
No deceit, no double talk and no obfuscation is acceptable. No harm to whistleblowers either. We need nothing but the truth and justice to our members and beyond. We fought for this Party to be socialist and can wish and hope for nothing better.
It is a disgrace that the those who allegedly made Racist and abusive comments revealed in the Leaked Labour report were not immediately suspended. Black and Asian members are immmediately suspenrded for minor offences.
Due to the amount of work party activists carried out during the 2017 and 2019 elections , members feel rightly angry at the thought that the 2017 election could have been won. People who are homeless, disabled, poor have been hurt by Tory policies. To think senior members of the party may have deliberately sabotaged an election due to their dislike of one man means they are culpable of much more.

We now know that, but for internal sabotage, Corbyn would have won a workable majority in 2017, and that the accusations of anti-Semitism against Corbyn personally from 2017-2019 were unfounded and contrived. Starmer ought to be broadcasting this loud and clear.
To be anything other than open and transparent is corruption
The Labour party will be forever divided if it doesn’t deal with this.
we cannot be expected to support a party that doesn’t deal with treacherous staff – I have no trust in my own party
Critical issues of the relationship between the Party officials and the members who elected the Party Leader at the time, have to be addressed in order to repair the damage done by those who disrespected and conspired against democratically elected Leader and his team. It is more important to deal with the possible fraud due to the misuse of fees as well as harassment and abuse of individuals in the leadership team. This is more important than finding out who leaked the report.

I agree with Dave’s comment. Talking abut the ‘fight’ against antisemitism seems to accept that it is rampant within Labour, when all proper surveys and analyses, like in ‘Bad News for Labour’ indicate that Labour is the party that is least ‘antisemitic’ and no more or less antisemitic than in the general population. An investigation should be called for the extent that this was mainly a smearing and politically motivated campaign by the media, various organisations like to the Israel lobby (as clearly shown in the Al Jazeera documentary of that name, and by the bodies within the Labour Party and many MPs to undermine Jeremy Corbyn and scupper his election as Prime Minister which could have been achieved in 2017.
JVL and Al Jazeera have informed me and others that those flagging up Labour’s perceived poor response to anti-Semitism and that it is systemic, had another agenda.
I have been a supporter of the Chakrabarti reforms and have no time for antisemitism or the tropes of antisemitism. I wish to support the call for an independent and comprehensive investigation into wrong doing and prejudice which damaged our electoral prospects, and quite possibly kept the Tories in power.
Great letter. Good luck!
We need to build trust in the Labour Party, without an investigation into all aspects of the report. The Labour Party will become redundant to its members, and the voting public.
I thoroughly agree with the letter I am signing.
If labour does not kick out the saboteurs and racists then I will never campaign or vote for the party again
Please provide these assurances without which I believe the future of the Labour Party will be greatly at risk. This will help in some way to offset the betrayal and anger which I personally feel about the allegations contained in the leaked report.
By opening up the contents of the leaked report to the EHRC the party will finally be able to deal with the inherent problems and move on.
Please add my name to the letter – Lincoln CLP
This an excellent and absolutely vital open letter. We need these allegations against those within the LP tasked with supporting the twice democratically elected Leader to face swift, thorough and independent due process. We as members need to be sure of and trust the integrity of every aspect of each stage of what absolutely needs to happen.
This letter is important. I hope it makes a difference.
Our party is not the Tory party there should be no secrets between the leadership and the membership.
I support the demand for a fully independent and transparent investigation on the terms described in this letter. Anything less will further corrode members’ trust in the new administration.
Without openess and honesty,the labour party is dead. All those involved must be expelled from the labour party.
Signed, Illi Cook. i was suspended while a member of bury st edmunds clp i think (I no longer live there), in the first McNicol purge so we couldnt vote for Jeremy, I then stopped subscribing cos i’ll be damned if im happy to lose my vote, have my Social media trawled, be intervieed by twonk Dan Hogan, for him to imply i’m antisemitic based on @intifada and guardian retweets, i kid you not.
Please ensure the review is full and transparent.
Please treat this matter as important and urgent.
This is vital
What are you hiding, nothing I have read it. Let’s have the investigation now, please remember the Labour Party is run by it’s members, for the members and if the leadership is scared of the members maybe step aside now.

Happy to sign this petition, without the truth, we are nothing.
Fully endorse all points in the letter. Transparency and comprehensive investigation is imperative.
Not suspending members subject serious allegations has been a grave mistake. Suspension is not an indication of guilt and has been applied to members for less serious allegations.
I want a fair and transparent investigation into these allegations. please do it speedily.
No secrecy please. We need and have a right to know.
The weekend that Starmer became leader I was accused of using Nazi phraseology in a comment by a Labour member who stated he was in a position to report me etc. I explained that as the son of a holocaust survivor I would not even know a Nazi phrase and certainly would never think to use one. He pressed the matter and stated that he has reported me. I checked on my words used and found it was in fact totally acceptable to use this phrase. I have sent two complaints to Labour H.Q. and an email.Not even a acknowledgement returned. It shows me that under Starmer some racism is all ok, as long as it suits his ideology. I even had to explain to the meathead who was accusing me that he was actually not correct in his use of what was anti Semitic and was being so himself.
Unless the leaked report was a total fabrication (extremely doubtful) then it’s pretty clear that many officials acted appallingly (to put it mildly). There are plenty of people who have clearly been suspended/expelled for far less serious ‘offences’ and yet… no suspensions whatsoever. Needless to say, there is at this point no confidence at all that justice will be served. It has to be.
All those who undermined our leader Jeremy Corbyn, and worked against the fight for a Labour Government should be expelled forthwith!
It must happen.
Agree totally with the letter.
The fear on the Left is that you asking Turkeys to vote for Christmas
There will be no suspensions before publication and as Joseph Gorniak points out the AS Scam is alive and kicking
My major concern in the short term is that all evidence is protected for future investigations
Who knows where my party will be in 12 months, still have no time for anyone advocating leaving
Concern the panel is all House of Lords which has a prima facie conflict of interest as Corbyn planned to reform Lords and Lords raised a vote of no confidence against him which was dropped.This conflict of interest must be declared as the panel will be interacting in the normal course of their work with those who raised vote of no confidence.There is no one representing poor, vulnerable or anti racist organisations yet vulnerable and BME had most to loose from actions to stop Labour government and facilitate Tory government. No one representing an anti bullying charity or workers union are on panel. All appear rich and priveledged and the panel itself is all white. No one on the panel will starve or go hungry as a result of Tory policy.
If the accusations of racism and bullying against black people and socialists are proven they too must receive an appology.
I campaigned on the streets as an NHS consultant for the first time ever age 60 to obtain Labour government, protect NHS from US trade deals and get homeless off the streets. The Westminster bubble did not apparently realise that Corbyn gave us hope of a fair society and it is only the Westminster bubble on the panel. I add that I am Jewish and Jewish anti Corbyn people felt embolded to bully me by the Right wing Labour perspective. I have reported such behaviour and behaviour by the Labour forum to the Labour party but received no explanation or appology from the party. Bullying should stop. It is not just those who dislike Corbyn who have feelings and rights not to be bullied. Those of us who support Corbyn have this right too.
To get to the truth of the matter it is essential for the investigation to be open, full and transparent.

The Labour Party is an utter disgrace and needs replacing!
The leaked report highlights systemic and calculated misconduct, abuse and misinformation by people the Membership and the Leadership trusted . They have completely decimated the trust I feel in my party. My husband is of Jewish origin and lived in Israel. He was outraged by the sheer ferocity of the campaign against Mr Corbyn in the media. That it happened within our Party is unforgivable. Why have these people not been suspended? They helped put the Conservatives back in power. Shameful.Since when has caring about Palestinian lives been antisemitic??
Full reveal is a necessity if we are to move on from this .
A faur and transparent examination will clarify thd situation at the heart of the Parry.
By the way, it’s Angela RayNER not Angela RayNOR.
We ordinary members feel betrayed by the behaviour of those Party officials who we thought were meant to be helping us to elect a Labour government. We demand justice.
