The BBC report https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-45401017 that:
'A Labour Party official who suggested Jewish "Trump fanatics" were behind accusations of anti-Semitism in Labour ranks has been re-elected to the party's ruling body.
Peter Willsman was criticised when a recording of his remarks emerged in July, and the pro-Corbyn Momentum group withdrew its backing for him.
But he is one of nine people elected to Labour's National Executive Committee.'
Pete Wilsman was recorded making antisemitic remarks. These comments were widely shown on most news channels and covered in most newspapers (maybe not The Morning Star). It was also a big story across social media. Surely it would have been virtually impossible for any Labour member to have not seen those remarks reported.
It seems that 70,000+ Labour Party members decided that they didn't care about it and voted for him anyway.
So can the media stop reporting the Labour Party's defence that 'Labour' s antisemitism crisis is the fault of a tiny minority within the party', it clearly goes much further and deeper than that.
