UK Labour Party suspends Jeremy Corbyn over anti-Semitism
I'm sure that plenty of people on this section of DU will be thinking "about time".
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54730425
Labour has suspended former leader Jeremy Corbyn after an inquiry found the party was "responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination" during his time in charge.
The UK's human rights watchdog also his office had "politically interfered" in the complaints process.
In a statement afterwards, Mr Corbyn said anti-Semitism within Labour had been "dramatically overstated".
Labour then said it was suspending him for a "failure to retract" his remarks.
