Why Jackie Walker is an antisemite

Jackie Walker is an antisemite. She stated that Jews were “chief financiers” of the African slave trade, a decades-discredited canard by Louis Farrakhan described by the Legacies of British Slave Ownership project at University College, London as based on “no evidence whatsoever.” Jackie Walker is antisemitic, not merely because we say so, but because she has […]

Report claims Labour Party readmitted Naz Shah before police investigation concluded

Labour has gone from being a pioneering force against racism to being the favoured political home of antisemites.
