.@BoDPres: “The double-speak from John McDonnell is loud and clear. In condemning antisemitism in public but defending people like Jackie Walker in private, he has proven he has no honesty or integrity. If Jeremy Corbyn does nothing about this then he too is complicit.”

Replying to @RachelRileyRR
Rachel - thank you so much for your support. Nearly a year after our unprecedented rally, barely any of these actions (which are the bare minimum that the Labour Party needs to do) have been undertaken. It is a damning indictment.
