The Labour Party may have unlawfully discriminated against Jewish people, the UK's human rights watchdog says. The Equalities and Human Rights Commission said it was considering launching a formal investigation into anti-Semitism in the party.Labour could agree to work voluntarily with the watchdog to come up with an action plan to improve their processes.The watchdog has been examining allegations handed to it by the Campaign Against anti-Semitism.

An Equality and Human Rights Commission spokesperson said:"Having received a number of complaints regarding anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, we believe Labour may have unlawfully discriminated against people because of their ethnicity and religious beliefs."As set out in our enforcement policy, we are now engaging with the Labour Party to give them an opportunity to respond."

bbcpress Ofcom Please, why are you not covering that your impartiality is being investigated as part of an official OFCOM review? This is an important news story and should be reported to inform the public and put your coverage in perspective

IF LABOUR IS TO FACE THIS THEN THE CONSERVATIVES MUST FACE A PROBE REGARDING MUSLIMS AND WINDRUSH, ALL THE BLACK COMMUNITIES OK!!!

And a letter is winging its way to the islamophobic tories as well.

jeremycorbyn johnmcdonnellMP thought with Baroness Chakrabarti experience in Human Rights the review she did for the Labour Party regarding anti-Semitism would have nailed this and party will be squeaky clean.

BBC at it again

Still nothing on the news site ? How surprising. Who IS funding you? I think it's time to stop.

YvetteCooperMP stellacreasy and you two are still proud to be a part of the party.

I would think there is a more important issue of human rights not getting attention, and that is homeless people dying on the streets hungry.

I’m beginning to think of the BBC the same way as I do about the sun.

Will the tories get investigated for islamophobia after this? Or does the human rights watch only use propaganda as a means to start an investigation.

If a political party courts a people group that is sworn to hate another people group then you have to hate that people group as an organization

About time.

Tell us how much lobbying had been carried out at EHRC by Isreali State?

antisemitism Possible? Please!!

antisemitism The probe should have no shortage of evidence of endemic and institutional antisemitism in Labour. They could start with responses in this thread

About time too. Humiliating for a supposed party of Opposition.

Strange how this has appeared just as Islamophobia in the Tory party is being exposed 🤔

Evidence ? Anyone ?

Inevitable!

The comments are so funny. 'let's see the evidence', no there are likely procedures. 'MSM deflecting from Tories', no just reporting the EHRC decision. 'Its all smears', if it is why are the EHRC getting involved. Then there's antisemtic comments. Yeah there's no antisemitism.

Really If any party deserve human right abuse probe, should it not be the Israeli (Zionist) government?! Stop the disinformation and face the atrocities of the Zionist regime. “Anti Zionist is not Anti Semitism”BDS Ilhamomar LabourParty

'Jeremy, we're being investigated by the EHRC'

Call in the UN - Wherever their is socialism their seems to be Antisemitism! UKLabour and the DNC have the same issue - Their ideology is corrupted with Antisemitism, Off to the Gulag with you. Socialism always ends in starvation and genocide.

Well done BBConservatives from deflecting Conservatives Islamaphobia back to the UKLabour antisematism.

Do you think that we cant see through these attacks? Where was the coverage on the UN report on the effects of austerity? History will not judge you kindly auntie beeb. You need to have a serious word with yourselves. these are public funds youre using.

The sunday sport is a more credible and truthful piece of media compared to the biased and tory run BBC. fakenews bullsh!t

BAN labour from everywhere, like has happened to Tommy Robinson. Clearly they are ALL RACIST. Fair treatment for all please.

make them an ILLEGAL PARTY ---

The Labour Nazi party led by Adolf Corbyn is falling apart

Just get someone to lead the party properly 😂😂

It is only a matter of time before the jews will be demanding Corbyn is crucified.

Let’s see the evidence please - WHERE IS IT !?!

This is the problem. Every UK & EU institution is run by or for Zionist interests. My human rights are violated by the fact that margarethodge works for Israel And for that matter, theresa_may also works for Israel. So does Tom Watson. UK must go to war when Israel says so.😎

I don't believe in much of this I think it's an msm thing to constantly smear Labour. Criticising Israel is allowed. You should always be allowed to be critical.

Good bless

Good

Please do!! Then stop the anti-Semite claims just because they don’t kiss Israel’s ass!

Orthodox Jews flag burning.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Our politicians are a disgrace. If I did my job in the same way I would be sacked

And Tories Islamophobia?

Good idea. Will bbc mention it when its found to be smears and lies.

Why because 4.5 milloin jewish children are living in poverty. 320k jewish Adults living on the streets. Millions of jewish familys using food banks. Or because jewish british citizens are being sent to Jamacia.

The very EHRC that the Tories wasn’t to get rid of? Be interesting to see the outcome being praised/denounced depending on what it says!! Either the EHRC will be the greatest institution ever or it will be roundly condemned as foreign and interfering 😂😂

This is getting ridiculous

Wonderful, will we eventually get some proof and will the actually bother to report it?

This must be the biggest joke. Tories deported black British citizens to foreign countries just because they happened to be black (Windrush);Blair lied to Parliament & the world & killed 100s of 1000s in Iraq. No HR probe for these then - the victims aren’t white? Hypocrites!

Very surprised, not the usual narritive from the BBC

theresa_may NEEDS TO GET A GRIP OF THE RACISM IN THE Conservatives PARTY, WHICH YOU LOT ARE CHOOSING TO IGNORE THE BBC = PROPAGANDA FAKE NEWS OUTLET A BUNCH ACTIVIST FOR THE ELITE/BRUSSELS MASQUERADING AS JOURNALISTS.

Got that wrong look at how the Tories are treating people inhuman

Relentless!!

Yes ,then proof of AS will have to be submitted. Might put this argument to bed once and for all.

good !! what labour did in iraq amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity

I understand the investigation is into its suspension of Jewish member Jackie Walker!

There are only 300k jews in England and only the elite and rightwingers are against him. There are more homeless than that. Who in the right mind puts there tiny issuse above starving children. SuperiorityComplex.

I keep hearing the labour party are anti-Semitic but i've not heard one shred of evidence to back that up. This article doesn't even offer evidence or a direct accusation.

They also have racism issues with the likes of David Lammy. He really has a gripe with whites. Racism shouldn't exist in 2019.

Cor, Jeremy is doing a great job, isn't he.

BBC new now the new gutter information service

Muslims should bring a case against the Tories.

Most hilarious was an accusation in celebrating MayDay with jews. (((Oh vey shut it down)))

Listen to Jewish voices not the Labour people who doubt them | John HarrisThe left used to instinctively side with the victims of bigotry. So what happened? Are we allowed to listen to the jewish voices who back Labour? Dragging the arse out of the smear stories. Fortunately only 20 odd likes after nearly an hour shows that this shite is running out of steam. And the Jewish voices accused of AS and being 'self hating'? Do not they have voices of worth and value? Or are they inconvenient. The 'wrong kind'? Proper standards of due process in line with the CPS process & the rule of law need to be respected rather than pander to mob rule

The unanswered question: why do antisemites think Labour is the party for them? | John HarrisThe left used to instinctively side with the victims of bigotry. So what happened, asks Guardian columnist John Harris With such one sided media support no wonder how one can “get away with murder” “ land grab” and colonization of someone elses land in 2019. I listen to Jewish Labour supporters, not apartheid enablers. The once respected British press has prostituted itself to plutocrats and oligarchs. Pretending that anti-Likud is same as antisemite, and that Tories have none, or at least “fewer” than Labour as a ruse to deflect from Genocidal / Apartheid ethnocentric state, betrays you.
