Labour’s ‘Socialist Campaign Group’ (SCG) of MPs is calling for top-level recruitment to be halted and for any party officials implicated in the recent report, which “contains revelations of senior officials undermining the 2017 general election campaign and suggests there are cases to answer on bullying, harassment, sexism and racism”, to be suspended while an inquiry takes place.
Shortly after the 851 page report, entitled “The work of the Labour Party’s Governance and Legal Unit in relation to antisemitism, 2014 – 2019” was leaked, the SCG released a statement demanding….
- The report should be published in full officially by the Labour Party
- An emergency National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting should be convened to discuss its contents
- The NEC committee must establish a transparent process to investigate the conduct alleged in the leaked document, with the terms of reference set by the NEC officers.
- This process must produce a report, that is publicly available, which restores faith among Labour members in the practices of our party.
Current membership of the SCG includes…

These amazing band of comrades and the people involved in producing that report deserve our solidarity now more than ever! They’ve shown they are prepared to fight to root out the rot from within the party and to ensure that the membership continues to have a voice. Walking away from the party now is turning your back on the comrades who continue the fight and handing power to the traitors within.
