John McDonnell has claimed that Rebecca Long-Bailey did speak out against antisemitism - but 'in a different way' to Keir Starmer. He said both of them 'echoed' his opinion that Labour 'weren't ruthless enough' in tackling the issue. Read more here:

The Wigan MP claimed"a collective failure of leadership at the top of the party for years" had"given a green-light to antisemites everywhere that they had a home in Labour."

"I am half-Indian and I know what racism feels like, and I know it cannot be your battle alone to fight it."But Sir Keir branded Ms Nandy's suggestion that the shadow cabinet snubbed the chance to view the party's submission to the EHRC as"nonsense"."It was [ex-Labour deputy leader] Tom Watson and I that were asking for that submission and we were offered it."

But Ms Long-Bailey said she"expressed my concern many, many times" and countered:"Keir knows that I spoke at shadow cabinet a number of times about this."
