Ken Livingstone is going to court in the UK to challenge anti-Semitism allegations.
The former mayor of London is contesting the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s controversial report that in October claimed he was guilty of “unlawful harassment” against Jews.
Along with Labour councillor Pam Bromley, Livingstone was one of only two cases of supposed Labour anti-Semitism the EHRC cited.
The report was used by Labour leader Keir Starmer as the pretext to launch an ongoing politicalpurge against the party’s left wing – starting with former leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Livingstone and Bromley announced in a joint press release on Thursday that they had “assembled a top legal team to address the findings against them.”
