The existence of a serious antisemitism problem in Labour is no excuse to bully women/party staff. Actual text of leaked LOTO emails shows Laura Murray responded in a responsible & fair matter - exactly what most would want to see (and consistent with all my dealings with her).

The Forde report thinks JVL should be involved in training @UKLabour Party members on antisemitism. This undermines the basis of the entire report. They didn’t ‘get it’. Not even key figures in the Corbyn camp seriously thought this should happen. They told me so.
