(Jewish Group) Britain's Labour Party bans 4 far-left factions to change reputation on antisemtism
Britain’s Labour Party bans 4 far-left factions in effort to change reputation on antisemitismThe Labour Party in Britain has banned four far-left factions as part of an effort to address frustration about the party’s handling of antisemitism.
The four factions, known for supporting former party leader Jeremy Corbyn, have been accused of downplaying claims of antisemitism as politically motivated and of condoning inappropriate comments by party members.
Labour’s ruling body, the National Executive Committee, voted Tuesday to expel Labour Against the Witch Hunt, Socialist Appeal, Labour in Exile and Resist. Belonging to any of these groups is now grounds for removal from Labour.
Along with the ban, Labour also introduced a new process for accountability that will see complaints handled by a review panel of independent lawyers, which report to a new independent appeal board.
