Tom Watson calls Alastair Campbell's expulsion 'spiteful' Read moreOn Tuesday, confirmation came that the Equality and Human Rights Commission is to investigate the Labour party over anti-Jewish racism. The answer appears to have come in the form of Tony Blair’s former director of communications, and his expulsion from the Labour party. MPs stepped forward to wonder why it was that Holocaust deniers were still members of their local Labour party, months and years after they’d been reported, while Campbell had been so rapidly ejected. The candidate in question was George Galloway, who had just defeated Labour in a byelection in Bradford West. It can even kick out the many other Labour members now stepping forward, Spartacus-style, to admit that they too broke ranks last Thursday.
