This is the best summary I could come up with:
Labour has been criticised for not taking tougher action sooner, with some suggesting Mr Ali was given favourable treatment because he was an ally of the leadership.
Martin Forde, the lawyer who has previously investigated allegations of bullying, racism and sexism in the party, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “One does have to question how such individuals are selected in the first place – and also the disparity in treatment.”
Mr Healy’s comments come as scrutiny of antisemitism within the Labour party has been extended two further prospective parliamentary candidates that attended the same meeting.
It has also been reported that Hyndburn councillor Munsif Dad, who leads the local authority’s Labour group, is thought to have been at the gathering where two parliamentary candidates are alleged to have made antisemitic remarks and has since been “spoken to”.
The Telegraph is now highlighting other anti-Israel comments made by Labour MPs over the last few years, including two shadow front-benchers, Thangham Debbonaire and Shabana Mahmood.
Ms Debbonaire is reported to have said in 2015 that selling arms to Israel was a “grave concern” and accused the Jewish state of violating international law, whilst Ms Mahmood, the shadow justice secretary, urged thousands of people to “boycott Israeli goods” and bombard their MPs at their constituency surgeries back in 2014.
