Editorial: Inquiry or no, the left must never forget what we learned from Labour’s leaked report Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer delivers a virtual speech in January
MPs writing to warn Keir Starmer that a decision to indefinitely delay the Forde inquiry risks giving the appearance of indifference to anti-black racism within Labour are right to do so.
They highlight just one of the many important issues raised in the report leaked last Easter on Labour’s handling of anti-semitism allegations.
Martin Forde QC says the decision to postpone reporting is because he does not wish the internal inquiry to prejudice an Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) investigation.
SIR KEIR STARMER is being called on to “come clean” about the alleged hiring of a former Israeli “cyber spy” as his office’s social media manager.
Suspended and expelled Labour members are challenging the party’s leader to explain how Assaf Kaplan was hired and how much Sir Keir knew about his background working for Israeli intelligence.
Mr Kaplan served in the cyber warfare unit of Israeli intelligence, which, in 2014, was alleged to be using information on Palestinians for the purposes of extortion and blackmail, the Electronic Intifada has reported.
The Labour in Exile Network (LIEN) group claimed that Mr Kaplan has tried to track LIEN’s activities by following the group on Facebook and Twitter.
