Last night's Panorama on Labour antisemitism was extremely distressing.
Not only has the Labour party failed, at the highest level, to stamp out anti-Jewish racism, the leadership appear to have actively intervened to stop this issue from being dealt with.
We would call on Scottish Labour to demonstrate leadership, support whistle blowers and to push for serious action to be taken to deal with antisemitism.
We are grateful to those whistle-blowers who have bravely spoken out. They should not have to face legal action for speaking up about antisemitism. It would be tragic to think that the so called anti-racist party takes serious action against those that speak out on racism, but not against those who engage in it."
