Labour Against Antisemitism: Statement on Labour proscribing four 'poisonous' groups

 

"We welcome the Labour Party's plan to proscribe these four groups, who represent some of the most extreme elements of the antisemitic Hard Left. Over recent years they have promoted anti-Jewish views, encouraged a toxic environment for Jewish party members and hampered attempts to tackle antisemitism. Members of these groups have previously even threatened our activists to the extent that police involvement was required. We therefore believe it is appropriate that they are banned from any future Labour Party involvement.

However, we hope that this is not the limit of current action on antisemitism. Other groups such as the Labour Representation Committee (whose President is John McDonnell MP) played a significant role in mainstreaming anti-Jewish racism and they too should be proscribed. Moreover, Keir Starmer must also address the provocative and inflammatory actions of some of his MPs who continue to promote the anti-Israel extremism that is described in the most recent CST report 'A Month of Hate. There is still a long way to go and much work to be done."
