Labour leaders, Jeremy Corbyn included, are not responsible for enforcing the rules and constitution of the party. The 67 Labour peers now find themselves sharing the same kind of ideology that Trump does. Figures from the party state, for instance, that the 200 examples submitted by Margaret Hodge concerned 111 people, 91 of whom turned out not to be Labour party members. Reportedly, 1,100 complaints were lodged between April 2018 and January 2019, but 433 (nearly 40%) were found to relate to people who weren’t Labour members. If the figures have been exaggerated, they have unnecessarily alarmed the Jewish population and made the Labour party seem far more antisemitic than it really is.
