Commentary

The former leader of the British Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, has just been suspended from the political party he led to electoral defeat against Boris Johnson. He was suspended not for anti-Semitism precisely, but for denying that anti-Semitism was a serious problem within the party, despite an official report finding that it was.
