For some time I have been calling Jeremy Corbyn antisemitic. Is the Labour Party itself also?
'A hard-left member of the Jewish Voice For Labour group is heading for a position on the Labour Party's top disciplinary body after pro-Jeremy Corbyn activists buried internal factional divisions and united to back him.
Stephen Marks — who once accused the Board of Deputies of being behind "imagined" claims of antisemitism in Labour — was placed on the left-wing "slate" of six suggested candidates for election onto the party's National Constitutional Committee (NCC).
On Wednesday, Momentum confirmed they would support Mr Marks, amongst the candidate list – despite earlier claims that founder Jon Lansman would block the endorsement of the JVL activist, which had been made by the far-left Campaign for Labour Party Democracy (CLPD) led by Pete Willsman, who was exposed by the JC over his Jewish "Trump fanatics" comments earlier this year.
Labour's increasingly left-wing membership will now almost certainly vote for the six names on the left-wing NCC slate, meaning Mr Marks could soon be ruling on controversial antisemitism allegations initially carried out by the party's National Executive Committee.'
